Paul Gadiot’s Champagne 1er Cru Extra Brut Précurseur 2015 is a refined and expressive cuvée that embodies the elegance of premier cru vineyards in the Montagne de Reims. Made predominantly from Chardonnay with a supporting touch of Pinot Noir, this vintage Champagne showcases the exceptional ripeness and balance of the 2015 harvest. On the nose, it offers aromas of golden apple, pear, and candied citrus peel, with delicate notes of white flowers and toasted hazelnut. The palate is precise and layered, revealing flavors of lemon curd, brioche, and a subtle saline minerality, supported by a vibrant acidity and a fine, persistent mousse.
Précurseur is a testament to Paul Gadiot’s commitment to sustainable farming and low-intervention winemaking. Grapes are hand-harvested from premier cru parcels, fermented with native yeasts, and aged on lees to develop depth and texture. The Extra Brut dosage highlights the wine’s purity and minerality, allowing the character of the terroir to shine through. The 2015 vintage, with its warm growing season and exceptional conditions, lends richness and intensity to this sophisticated Champagne.
This Extra Brut is an excellent choice for pairing with refined dishes such as poached lobster, roasted poultry, or creamy mushroom pasta. Its balance of freshness and complexity also makes it a superb aperitif for special occasions. Précurseur 2015 is a wine of finesse and authenticity, embodying the artistry of premier cru Champagne.
