Descendance Extra Brut

Pointillart-Leroy | Extra Brut

Compared to the Descendance Brut, the 2 g/l dosage in the Extra Brut makes exactly the difference.

The Extra Brut hits the mark even more precisely: straightforward, spicy, mineral, with exactly the tension you want in a Pinot-dominant champagne.

A bottle you'd gladly put one or two more aside for storage.
