Made from organically farmed Pinot Noir on the chalky Kimmeridgian slopes of the Aube, Austral is a wine that resists decoration. No dosage. No makeup. Just single-village fruit (mainly from Biaunes), spontaneous fermentations, and aging on lees for clarity, not creaminess.

This NV cuvée (based on 2022) is bone-dry and sharply defined. But it’s not about austerity—it’s about structure. The kind that feels more architectural than aromatic. A Champagne for people who want to taste the vineyard, not the hand. Who prefer texture to toast. Silence to applause.

Clandestin doesn’t make wines to flatter. It makes wines to reveal. And Austral might be the clearest expression of that mission.

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!
