2012 Champagne Fleury Sonate Extra Brut, Champagne, FranceABOUT THIS WINE: The blend is composed of 78% Pinot Noir and 22% Chardonnay. It has a very low dosage (less than 1g L) and offers an extraordinary long finish. Served at approximatively 10C, this cuve is particularly recommended for the aperitif, and develops its full character within the first 15 minutes. ABOUT THIS PRODUCER: We were the first Champagne producers using biodynamics, claims Jean Sbastien Fleury, current winemaker at Champagne Fleury.
