Femme de Champagne Brut Nature 2002 embodies the purity of a great vintage, combining finesse, structure, and elegance after a long period of aging in the cellar.
The 2002 Femme de Champagne Brut Nature is the purest and most iconic expression of a fantastic vintage, marked by exceptional ripening and a particularly sunny summer. This characterful champagne, produced without any dosage, reveals remarkable structure and body after twenty years of patient aging on the lees in the cellar. Its golden hue reveals a nose of great finesse, blending acacia blossom, stewed fruit, and an elegant mineral touch. On the palate, the very fine bubbles linger with remarkable persistence, releasing rich notes of brioche, vanilla, and citrus fruits such as lemon and mandarin.
The story behind this bottle is the result of a quest for excellence led by Carol Duval-Leroy and Cellar Master Sandrine Logette-Jardin, aimed at bringing out the best in the finest Grand Cru terroirs. Made from vines aged 35 to 45 years, this cuvée underwent meticulous vinification, including 20% barrel aging to enhance its aromatic complexity.
This wine embodies the winery’s philosophy, featuring natural clarification without the use of animal or plant-based fining agents and a very limited use of sulfites, thereby preserving the fruit’s integrity. Designed to offer an unforgettable tasting experience, this gourmet cuvée has been crafted to pair with the most refined dishes.
Renowned for its high standards and expertise, Brut Nature is regularly recognized by the most prestigious international critics and competitions.
