Gaston Burtin, Hommage à Gaston Burtin Extra Brut 2019

This champagne comes from twenty villages across Champagne and matured for at least three years on the lees. The dosage is low (5 g/l), keeping the wine dry and crisp. 2019 was a challenging year with frost and drought, but the small harvest yielded well-ripened grapes with a fine balance between acidity and concentration.

What you smell
White fruit, a hint of acacia honey, and a light brioche note from lees aging.

What you taste
Orange peel and raspberry, with a fresh, citrusy opening. The low dosage keeps it dry and clear, with fine bubbles and a clean, refreshing finish rather than a sweet aftertaste.

How it's made
A blend of 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Meunier, and 20% Chardonnay, based on the 2019 vintage. At least three years of aging on the lees provides the brioche note and fine mousse. Low dosage of 5 g/l.

Serving
Serve at 8 to 10°C. Decanting is not necessary. Use a tulip-shaped glass to fully appreciate the aromas.

Pairs well with

  • Sushi: the fresh acidity and low dosage cut through rice and fatty fish without overpowering them.
  • Raw fish (sashimi or tartare): the citrus notes act like a slice of lemon with delicate fish.
  • Oysters and shellfish: the crisp, dry style enhances the salty taste without making it heavy.

Maison Burtin is een Champagnehuis in Epernay, opgericht in 1933 door Gaston Burtin in het historische Château des Archers. Zijn beste cuvées hield hij decennialang binnen een select, privé kringetje; pas sinds 2022 zijn ze publiekelijk te krijgen, onder de naam Hommage à Gaston Burtin.

Champagne is een methode voordat het een smaak is: een tweede gisting in de fles die het koolzuur vastlegt. Wat de fles daarna karakteriseert, is de assemblage van druiven, dorpen en oogstjaren die de chef de cave maakt.
