Clandestin, Les Revers Brut Nature other_regions The 2018 Massetino is Merlot

The 2018 Massetino is Merlot with a dash of Cabernet Franc that makes all the difference in terms of the wine's aromatic precision and its overall staying power

persistency and gloss

There is excellent richness but also fine detail to the big

this needs to add more depth

I would prefer to drink the 2015 over the near and medium term

Clandestin, Les Revers Brut Nature other_regions The 2018 Massetino is MerlotThe NV (2019) Brut Nature Les Revers is a pure Chardonnay from north facing vineyards in the Aube, fermented and aged in barrel.

Sprightly mousse underlines the fact that this is less about fruit than about texture and soil, expressing deeper creaminess and the smoothness of pillowy brioche. Light, bright and yet with substance. A blanc de blancs but not as you know
