Description

A relatively new Champagne from Ployez Jacquemart that takes the house's very dry Extra Brut style to its logical conclusion. Dosage Zero adds no dosage at all, with only the approximately 0.25 grams per litre of unfermented sugars from the primary fermentation. The wine itself is a blend of Grand and Premier Cru villages, and like the rest of the range uses only the pure cuvees (the free run juice) and steers clear of vintage wines except in exceptional harvests. 5 years on lees (sur pointe) gives the wine the requisite richness to match its bone dry character, the palate full of citrus, bread crust, grapefruit and sea breeze, with a gently creamy, biscuit finish. A beautiful Champagne experience with only very limited production, Kiwis should jump on their 6-pack first or risk missing out.
