Marc Hebrart Rive Gauche Rive Droite Grand Cru Extra Brut, Champagne, France 2010

Hebrart?????s barrel-fermented 2010 Rive Gauche Rive Droite Grand Cru Extra Brut opens with a beautiful purity and intensity on the bright and intense nose. Very intense and mineral on the palate, this extraordinary blend reveals a lot of chalk and salinity on the palate, as well asgreat purity, finesse and freshness. Great complexity here and very long. This is a firm and refreshing Champagne of great expression. Rive Gauche-Rive Droit ????? ?????Left Bank-Right Bank????? named after the vineyard sites situated either side of the Marne river. A 50/50 blend Grand Cru Pinot Noir (Ay) and Grand Cru Chardonnay (Chouilly,Oiry, Avize). A second prestige cuv??e alongside his ?????Special Club????? release, but both totally different in style. This is Hebrart?????s homage to the champagnes of the past.
