From Provence to Champagne: The Brothers Return
Pertois-Lebrun is the work of two dedicated brothers, Clement and Antoine. Raised in Provence, they were drawn to Champagne, where their family held an estate in Cramant. What drew them in? A shared desire for independence, a connection with nature, and the chance to maintain ties to the family estate their grandparents started in 1955.
This cuvée is designed to be a lively and expressive reflection of the estate's diverse vineyard holdings across the Côte des Blancs. It blends Chardonnay from seven different Grand Cru and Premier Cru terroirs, including Chouilly, Cramant, and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger.
All About Chardonnay
At Pertois-Lebrun, Chardonnay is the foundation and the focus. Each harvest is guided by the vineyard itself, with parcels picked at optimal ripeness and vinified separately to preserve their individual character. Only the finest first-press juices are used, capturing purity, energy, and the chalk-driven precision that defines Chardonnay in the Côte des Blancs. In the cellar, the approach is not rushed. Seriously. Outside of their introductory cuvee, the l'Extravertie which is aged 2yr on the lees, these cuvees all age a minimum of seven years on their lees! Stainless steel and oak add dimension and preserve freshness, but never overshadows the fruit. Time does the real work here. Chardonnay can achieve so much when nothing is rushed.
Vinous Media: 88 Points
NV Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs L'extravertie Grand Cru is a pure Chardonnay picked in seven crus of the Côte des Blancs, based 86% on the 2021 vintage with the remainder from 2020. A very clear-cut, bright, lemony creaminess immediately signals purity on the nose, followed by fine brioche. The palate is super slender, with fine lively mousse underlining the svelteness and freshness of the 2021 vintage in this beautifully pure aperitif-style fizz. Dosage is 3 grams per liter. Disgorged: February 2025
