The Arietis Vandi\u00e8res Brut Nature NV<\/strong> from Alexis Leconte is a champagne that impresses with its sophistication and liveliness. Made from 100% Pinot Meunier<\/strong>, it showcases the versatility of this grape variety, which is known for fruity and accessible wines with a slight tropical note.<\/p>\n A fine, cool freshness unfolds on the nose, with delicate citrus notes and a subtle spiciness that makes the champagne appear focused and precise. On the palate, the present perlage and an extraordinary lightness are inspiring. The typical Meunier spice remains subtle and underlines the elegant structure of Arietis.<\/p>\n The grapes come from the characterful La Perchotte and La Forzie vineyards, where the soils are characterized by limestone, marl, clay and sand. The wine is aged in 400-liter tonneaux without malolactic fermentation. After tirage in April 2020 and d\u00e9gorgement in March 2022, the champagne remains authentic and pure thanks to the absence of dosage.<\/p>\n In the glass, the Alexis Vandi\u00e8res presents itself with a medium straw yellow and fine perlage.<\/p>\n On the nose, it reveals a creamy bouquet of vanilla butter, lemon curd and tangerine, complemented by notes of Cointreau and white tea.<\/p>\n On the palate, it impresses with a precise balance between bright fruit and brilliant pressure, accompanied by citrus notes, pome fruit and fresh yeast bread. The elegant acidity and salty finish with smoky notes give this champagne a special depth.<\/p>\n Perfect with mushroom dishes, pork medallions or beef.<\/p>\n Alexis Leconte, a member of the sixth generation of the Champagne Xavier Leconte family, cultivates his vineyards in Troissy, Dormans, Mareuil-le-Port, Vandi\u00e8res and Ay according to biodynamic principles. He places a high value on the preservation of the soil and the production of healthy grapes in order to create wines that reflect the terroir in all its complexity. Vinification takes place in oak barrels and\/or terracotta amphorae with spontaneous fermentation by indigenous yeasts, without malolactic fermentation and with minimal or no dosage. His champagnes are characterized by complexity, consistency, depth and harmony.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A focused and precise champagne made from 100% Pinot Meunier, which delights with its delicate spiciness, lively freshness and delicate citrus notes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":14990,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_editorskit_title_hidden":false,"_editorskit_reading_time":0,"_editorskit_is_block_options_detached":false,"_editorskit_block_options_position":"{}","_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[1259,225,264],"product_tag":[653,1261],"class_list":{"0":"post-14994","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-alexis-en","7":"product_cat-champagne","8":"product_cat-organic-champagne","9":"product_tag-brut-nature-en","10":"product_tag-pinot-meunier-en","11":"product_shipping_class-standard-en","13":"first","14":"instock","15":"taxable","16":"shipping-taxable","17":"purchasable","18":"product-type-composite"},"composite_virtual":false,"composite_layout":"single","composite_add_to_cart_form_location":"default","composite_editable_in_cart":false,"composite_sold_individually_context":"product","composite_shop_price_calc":"min_max","composite_components":[{"id":"1690890259","title":"Gift box (optional)","description":"","query_type":"product_ids","query_ids":[13157],"default_option_id":"","thumbnail_id":"","thumbnail_src":"","quantity_min":1,"quantity_max":1,"priced_individually":true,"shipped_individually":false,"optional":true,"discount":"","options_style":"dropdowns","pagination_style":"classic","display_prices":"absolute","show_sorting_options":false,"show_filtering_options":false,"attribute_filter_ids":[],"select_action":"view","product_title_visible":false,"product_descr_visible":true,"product_price_visible":true,"product_thumb_visible":true,"subtotal_visible_product":false,"subtotal_visible_cart":false,"subtotal_visible_orders":false,"product_addons_visible":true},{"id":"1690890260","title":"Greeting card with mini bouquet (optional)","description":"","query_type":"category_ids","query_ids":[636],"default_option_id":"","thumbnail_id":"","thumbnail_src":"","quantity_min":1,"quantity_max":1,"priced_individually":true,"shipped_individually":false,"optional":true,"discount":"","options_style":"dropdowns","pagination_style":"classic","display_prices":"absolute","show_sorting_options":false,"show_filtering_options":false,"attribute_filter_ids":[],"select_action":"view","product_title_visible":false,"product_descr_visible":true,"product_price_visible":true,"product_thumb_visible":true,"subtotal_visible_product":false,"subtotal_visible_cart":false,"subtotal_visible_orders":false,"product_addons_visible":true}],"composite_scenarios":[],"exclude_global_add_ons":[],"addons":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nTasting Note<\/h4>\n
