The Lointier Mellifera Extra Brut is a rare find, crafted with a biodynamic approach and minimal intervention, showcasing a unique terroir expression with only 3,000 to 5,000 bottles produced annually. The Lointier Mellifera Extra Brut is a testament to passionate, biodynamic winemaking by Helene and Jean-Baptiste Lointier, who tend their 3-hectare estate with a natural approach. This non-vintage Champagne, with a minimal dosage of 1.5 g/l, is aged for 11 months in oak barrels sourced from their own forest, without filtration or excessive sulphites, resulting in a more layered and structured finish. It reveals a luminous pale gold hue with delicate bubbles. The nose offers ripe fruits like peach and mirabelle plum, accented by spicy notes, honey, ripe apple, pear, white flowers, lemon peel, almond, and a hint of roasted nuts. The palate delivers a juicy texture, vibrant freshness, and a structured finish, blending minerality with subtle power, making it firm, clean, savory, and refreshingly dry.
