Champagne Cuvée Reflet, Clemens Bertrand

Champagne Cuvée Narcevignes 2022 – Clemens Bertrand

🥂 Pure Precision from a Single Plot – Champagne Cuvée Narcevignes 2022 – Clemens Bertrand

A single-plot champagne named after the unique Narcevignes vineyard in Prouilly. With 45-year-old Meunier vines, perfectly south-facing, this parcel produces grapes with exceptional ripeness. This is terroir expression at its purest – unfiltered, zero dosage, and matured to let the natural power and finesse of Meunier shine.

✨ Tasting Notes

A pale golden hue in the glass with a fine, persistent mousse. The nose opens with ripe peach, mirabelle plum, and candied citrus, followed by subtle brioche, hazelnut, and a touch of vanilla from oak aging.
On the palate, ripe yellow fruit, mandarin zest, and almond pastry meet a precise, chalky minerality. The texture is creamy yet refined, perfectly balancing ripeness and freshness. The finish is long, dry, and layered, with delicate smoky nuances.
