Champagne Clandestin’s Boréal Blanc de Noirs Brut Nature 2018 is a striking and terroir-driven expression of Pinot Noir, sourced from meticulously tended vineyards in the northern Montagne de Reims. This zero-dosage cuvée captures the precision and vibrancy of the 2018 vintage, offering an aromatic bouquet of red currants, wild strawberries, and cranberries, intertwined with subtle notes of citrus peel, white pepper, and chalky minerality. On the palate, it is taut yet layered, with flavors of fresh red berries, blood orange, and savory herbs. The wine’s fine mousse and bracing acidity lead to a clean, mineral-laden finish that lingers elegantly.

Boréal reflects Clandestin’s commitment to biodynamic viticulture and natural winemaking. Grapes are hand-harvested from chalk-rich soils, and the wine is crafted with minimal intervention to preserve the authenticity of its terroir. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged on lees, the 2018 vintage boasts exceptional ripeness and balance, translating into a Champagne of both depth and clarity. The Brut Nature style emphasizes its purity, allowing the vineyard’s essence to shine.

This Blanc de Noirs pairs beautifully with a range of dishes, including smoked salmon, roasted poultry, or mushroom risotto. Its vibrant acidity and mineral backbone also make it a delightful aperitif, perfect for celebratory moments or quiet reflections. Boréal Blanc de Noirs Brut Nature 2018 is a stellar example of Clandestin’s dedication to crafting expressive and precise Champagnes.

Champagne

Champagne boasts some of the world’s greatest luxury brands with Krug, Cristal and, of course, Dom Perignon. But it’s also home to hundreds of small dynamic producers—farmers who grow their own grapes (often organically) and make (often with natural methods) tiny amounts of pure and absolutely delicious wine that reflect the individual personalities of their villages and terroirs. Toast with these wines, for sure. But also treat them like the great wines they are: taste, drink, explore!
