Jo Landron Brut Atmospheres NV

$50.00

As always this is officially non-vintage (although Jo tells me it is 2017) and is mostly Folle Blanche. It is made in the extra brut style using the méthode traditionnelle. Jo will add a little dosage at disgorgement during the first 24 months, but later disgorgements such as this one receive no such support. It has a fragrant floral nose, filled with chalk, orange and peach, in a ripe and expressive style. The palate maintains an even more exotic stance, with plush fruit, the wine’s broad texture here offset by an incisive mousse and punchy acidity. A lovely style. 93 points – Chris Kissack, The Wine Doctor

 

A hand harvested, naturally fermented, low dosage bubbles that shows up many conventional and big name Champagnes for both quality and value. There’s racy citrus and fresh peachy fruit and lots of rocky, earthy complexity, all wrapped up in a deliciously bready texture. The crunchy fresh finish also makes it extremely food friendly.

Jo Landron uses a hand harvested blend of Folle Blanche (typically 80%) grown on sandy clay, and then Pinot Noir and a little Chardonnay, grown in gravel. Vine age varies between 18 and 30 years, and the yields are typically between 50 and 60 hl/ha – far lower than the average yields in Champagne. Fermented using wild yeast and then a traditional second fermentation in bottle. The dosage is a low 5 g/L (extra brut), and the wine spends 24 months on lees. 100% estate fruit, biodynamically grown and hand harvested.
