Champagne Alexandra Sainz Brut Nature NV

Alexandra Sainz grew up helping her mother handpick the best Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes and going with her father to delicately press the fruit to create the loveliest depictions of Champagne you can imagine. Her fond memories, along with a deeply entrenched family history of growing grapes in Bouzy, led her to not only pursue a viticulture and oenological degree, but also to launch her own winery in 2021. With that, Champagne Alexandra Sainz was born!

Alexandra’s Brut Nature is all old-vine Pinot Noir grapes from Essoyes in the Montagne de Reims, with extended lees aging time totaling four years. This is her first-ever Brut Nature (meaning no added dosage), and we certainly hope it won’t be her last. It expertly displays the character and intricacies of both the grape style and terroir to a T, while maintaining a dry and precisely balanced tension that would make it an exemplary food wine.

Incredibly complex and massively welcoming, the wine pours a delicate light hay color with fine bubbles and a soft, persistent mousse. It opens with gorgeous floral and fruit aromas of honeysuckle, smashed raspberries, and dusty wild strawberries with a chalky undertone. The palate continues with red fruits, alongside notes of fresh whipped cream, quince paste, almond shortbread cookies, and lemon oil, with a persistent acidity laced throughout and a generous finish that just goes on and on. This is so elegant and compelling, with tons going on to keep you enticed throughout the bottle and into the next! Alexandra Sainz is one of the newer Growers on our perpetual “ones to watch” list, and we simply trust anything she creates.
