Métisse Noirs & Blancs 2020
Olivier Horiot | Brut Nature | Vintage 2020
Champagne and burgers? Absolutely.
In the glass: – Métisse Noirs & Blancs (Vendange 2020) On the plate: Jalapeño burger with homemade buns and spicy potato wedges
A spicy burger meets a champagne that doesn't just keep up – it plays along. The Métisse Noirs & Blancs absorbed the spice of the burger, balanced it, and showed a new facet: fresher, more exciting, more complex.
What makes it special:
- Assemblage: 80% Pinot Noir & 20% Pinot Blanc – that's exactly what's behind "Noirs & Blancs". An unusual cuvée that perfectly combines power and freshness.
- Vinification: Unfiltered & unfined, to bring the terroir of the Côte des Bar into the glass unadulterated.
- Dosage: Brut Nature – zero grams of sugar, maximum precision.
- Aging: In wooden barrels on the lees, which gives the champagne depth, texture, and a hint of spicy complexity.
And because it fits well, I chose my white wine glass with the black stem again today.
Classic, clean, minimalist – the design just works. Sometimes you don't need a fancy champagne glass. Form follows feeling?
Tasting Notes
A powerful yet fresh champagne with spicy complexity and multi-layered texture. The barrel aging gives it depth, while the Brut Nature dosage ensures maximum precision.
