The Dosage Zéro cuvée from Maison AR Lenoble represents the excellence of a non-dosed Champagne, made with perfect mastery of the three Champagne grape varieties. The wines come from the prestigious terroirs of Côte des blancs, Grande Vallée de la Marne and Vallée de la Marne, guaranteeing exceptional quality and typicity. This wine is distinguished by prolonged aging in our historic cellars, where the optimal ripeness of carefully selected grapes and the aromatic complexity developed during aging combine to offer a balance that is both fair and harmonious.
On tasting, the nose reveals an intense bouquet of fleshy fruit, evolving from fresh fruit to fruit in syrup, with notes of stewed fruit. The aromatic expression is pure and rich, evoking young mirabelle plum, ripe pear and roasted pineapple. Tertiary nuances of lightly toasted almonds and fresh bread, contributed by the wines of Réserve, are elegantly integrated into this aromatic mosaic. On the palate, the attack is frank and acidic, supported by a chiselled bubble. The long, spicy finish is enhanced by a hint of lemon, leaving delicate, persistent tactile sensations.
This cuvée, aged in vats with undergrowth (20%) and in corked magnums (10%), benefits from an average 60-month maturation period, giving it remarkable complexity and depth. It goes perfectly with refined dishes such as butternut velouté with burrata, tuna à la plancha with crunchy vegetables, poultry supreme cooked at low temperature, or pear crumble.
