L'Indigène Extra Brut
Marteaux Guillaume | Brut Nature
Friday evening, no big plans, but felt like having something special – so I opened the L'Indigène Extra Brut from Marteaux Guillaume. Just because champagne is sometimes exactly what you need to wind down the week in a relaxed way.
Why this champagne is special:
- 100% Pinot Meunier: Powerful and elegant, with a great balance.
- Wild fermentation: No added yeasts – just pure naturalness in the glass.
- Brut Nature: Zero dosage, 100% character.
- Aging: A full 6 years on the lees, which gives it this creamy texture and depth.
What I tasted: Ripe fruits, a hint of almonds and – I think I detected – something spicy like clove.
Sometimes you don't need a big idea behind a champagne evening. Just enjoy, celebrate the moment and appreciate how much craftsmanship and passion goes into such a bottle.
Do you also drink champagne just "without occasion"?
Tasting Notes
Ripe fruits, a hint of almonds, and spicy notes like clove. Creamy texture and depth from 6 years of lees aging.
