Salima & Alain Cordeuil Champagne Brut Nature "Origines" 2018 (750ml)

Dry, incisive, and beautifully balanced. On entry, zesty citrus (lemon peel, lime pith) and crisp apple drive the profile, framed by saline minerality that speaks eloquently of the terroir. The texture is finely textured and chalk-y, imparting a lifted energy and a tactile precision. There’s a fleeting note of toasted brioche and crushed hazelnut that weaves through the core without detracting from the vibrant fruit focus.
