Brice Allouchery Les Sablons, Premier Cru 2020

Les Sablons 2020 is a blend of 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay from sandy and sandy-limestone terroirs in Écueil and Sacy, two Premier Crus in the Petite Montagne de Reims. The two grape varieties are blended at the press, following a philosophy of terroir rather than late-stage adjustment.

Fermentation with indigenous yeasts, eleven months of aging on lees in barrels, followed by 36 months on laths. Disgorged in March 2025 and dosed at only 1.3 g/l as an Extra Brut, the cuvée is vinous, long, and fresh, with yellow fruits, candied lemon, and a touch of brioche.
