Gaston Collard, a small grower-producer located in Bouzy, a prestigious Grand Cru village in the Montagne de Reims, is known for creating character-driven Champagnes with a focus on Pinot Noir. Bouzy’s south-facing slopes and chalk-limestone soils are ideal for producing ripe, full-bodied fruit, which is key to the power and finesse of this wine. With no dosage added, this cuvée is a “zero sugar” or brut nature style, offering an unadulterated reflection of the vineyard and vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn the glass, this Champagne shows a pale gold hue with fine, persistent bubbles. On the nose, it is precise and expressive, with aromas of red apple, lemon zest, fresh almond, and a hint of brioche. There is also a subtle smoky and mineral edge, characteristic of Bouzy’s chalky soils. The palate is taut and focused, with vibrant acidity and a chalky texture framing flavors of citrus, underripe pear, green apple skin, and a touch of crushed stone. The absence of dosage enhances the wine’s linear and mineral-driven profile, giving it a refreshing, bone-dry finish that lingers with notes of salinity and citrus pith.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis zero-dosage Champagne is an ideal match for seafood and shellfish, where its clarity and tension can truly shine. Pair it with freshly shucked oysters, sashimi, or sea bass ceviche for a perfect harmony of flavors. It also pairs beautifully with dishes that feature creamy textures, such as goat cheese or a beurre blanc sauce, as the Champagne’s vibrant acidity cuts through richness effortlessly. With its lean and precise style, this wine will appeal to fans of dry, terroir-expressive Champagnes, offering an authentic and unadorned taste of Bouzy’s exceptional terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jeffrey Alpert (USA) [JFFALP]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44151178100793,"sku":"NYC-1-JFFALP-`JA8693`-121824-3","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Gaston-Collard-Champagne-Dosage-Zero-NV-Sparkling-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York_282731a1.jpg?v=1768498112"}],"url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/collections\/gaston-collard.oembed","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
