Pointillart Leroy — Descendance Brut

Descendance Brut

Pointillart Leroy | Brut Nature

The Descendance – Brut from Pointillart Leroy surprises.

When you expect an approachable, fruit-forward glass – something light and charming to accompany – what comes instead is: edge. Structure. Spice.

A tart, herbal note that lingers. Dry on the attack, almost piquant – with pressure on the palate and a rather serious character.

Pinot Noir from Écueil, Premier Cru

Tasting Notes

Surprisingly angular and spicy with herbal, almost vermouth-like notes. Dry on the attack, piquant with pressure on the palate – a serious character that feels like an Extra Brut despite 7 g/l Dosage.
