Cuvée de Nature
The grand finale: Station 10 of 10.
Today I'm closing a chapter that has accompanied me intensively over the past few months. With the Cuvée de Nature, the last bottle from Perseval-Farge is on the table – and with that, I've worked my way through the entire portfolio of this exciting house from Chamery.
Looking back at the last 9 posts – from the powerful C. de Pinots to the exclusive 2006 Millésime – there's a common thread running through the work of Isabelle and Benoist Perseval: energy, depth, and wonderful honesty.
The C. de Nature is the ultimate statement of this philosophy. As a Zero Dosage (Brut Nature), it comes completely without makeup. What lands in the glass here is the pure essence of the Premier Cru Terroir of Chamery.
On the nose, beautifully lively with yellow fruits, citrus zest, and that typical, fine brioche note that comes from 5 years on the lees. On the palate, it's powerful, almost demanding, with razor-sharp minerality and a saline length that makes you want the next sip. A champagne for purists that shows you don't need dosage when the base material is this precise.
It's been a fascinating journey through a house that perfectly combines traditional craftsmanship (like the basket press and HVE certification) with courage for niches (like the almost forgotten grape varieties). Perseval-Farge remains an absolute recommendation for me for anyone seeking character beyond the mainstream, and I think I need a few bottles of these back in my cellar too.
