{"product_id":"champagne-chavost-paradoxe-brut-nature-nv","title":"Champagne Chavost Paradoxe Brut Nature NV","description":"\u003cp\u003eFounded back in 1946 as a group of growers in the village of Chavot, Champagne Chavost has become one of the most talked-about names in the region since Fabian Daviaux took the reins in 2019. Fabian sits on the board of the co-op and successfully persuaded a largely older generation of growers to convert their roughly five hectares to organic farming, investing his time in tastings and educational conversations to bring them along. That five-hectare vineyard is now certified organic (Agriculture Biologique) as of the 2023 harvest, and everything is made without additives, without dosage, and without added sulfites… a purist's dream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Paradoxe\" is a blend of five vintages – 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 – of Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier, with no added dosage or sulfites. A precise reflection of the terroir of the Côteaux Sud d'Épernay, the blend runs 60% Chardonnay – the bright, shining star of this show – with 40% Meunier offering supportive red-fruit notes. The vineyards sit on north-facing clay-limestone soils, and the winemaking is thoughtful and hands-off. Fermentation happens 50% in 4,000-liter barrels and casks and 50% in thermo-regulated stainless steel, all without added sulfites, and it's disgorged with zero dosage to keep the freshness and realness of the fruit and terroir wholly intact. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, that translates to something both generous and razor-sharp. You’ll find joyful notes of ripe Bartlett and yellow plum leading the way, wrapped in a gorgeous savory streak – buttermilk, saltine cracker, and a distinctly chalky, cement-like minerality that gives the wine its backbone. Bright lemon zest keeps everything lifted and mouthwatering, while a delicate strawberry flower note (thank you, Meunier) adds the faintest blush of red fruit on the finish. It's finely balanced, with a delicate mousse and a persistent, straight, luminous finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you've fallen for Chavost before, this one will only deepen the affair, and if you're new to them, there's no better place to start. We’re genuinely thrilled to offer their newest style of cuvée, especially for a nice little 20% in savings! Our one regret is not being able to snag more… so whatever you do, don’t hesitate long!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Last Bubbles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63627730747761,"sku":"1012599","price":64.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/1211\/7307\/files\/ChampagneChavostParadoxeBrutNatureNV_1012599_BUB_BottleShot.jpg?v=1786983432","url":"https:\/\/lastbubbles.com\/products\/champagne-chavost-paradoxe-brut-nature-nv","provider":"Last Bubbles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
