Champagne Guiborat’s Blanc de Blancs “Prisme” Extra Brut Grand Cru NV, based on the 2019 vintage, is an exceptional expression of Chardonnay sourced from the esteemed Grand Cru vineyards of the Côte des Blancs, primarily in Cramant and Chouilly. Guiborat is renowned for crafting terroir-driven Champagnes, and “Prisme” reflects this focus, capturing the purity and minerality characteristic of chalk-rich soils. Vinified with minimal intervention and aged on the lees, “Prisme” is crafted in the Extra Brut style, allowing the inherent acidity and mineral expression to shine through.

On the nose, “Prisme” reveals enticing aromas of citrus blossom, green apple, and white peach, along with hints of chalky minerality and toasted hazelnut from the lees aging. The palate is precise and vibrant, delivering flavors of lemon zest, crisp pear, and subtle brioche, supported by a fine, creamy mousse. The Extra Brut dosage lends a refreshing dryness, accentuating the wine’s clean, mineral finish with a lingering saline touch.

This Champagne pairs wonderfully with seafood such as scallops, oysters, and sashimi, as well as with delicate vegetable dishes. The 2019 base vintage imparts a youthful vibrancy and focus, while Guiborat’s meticulous approach ensures a Champagne of elegance and depth, perfect for both celebratory moments and contemplative sipping.
