2013 Champagne Siret Frère & Sœur Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut Grand Cru
A 100% Chardonnay Grand Cru from the 2013 vintage, disgorged in February 2022 with a dosage of 3 g/L.
Origin and vinification
This Blanc de Blancs comes from Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte des Blancs. The low-dosage Extra Brut style emphasizes the purity and natural structure of the vintage. The long aging on lees adds complexity and depth.
The 2013 vintage
2013 was a classic vintage with lively acidity and a tight structure. Combined with bottle aging, this resulted in a Champagne with ripe aromas and a refreshing tension.
Color, smell and taste
Golden yellow with a fine mousse. The nose reveals notes of dried apple, almond, and subtle toffee, complemented by light wood and cedar accents. The palate is full and layered with ripe fruit, fresh acidity, and a slightly salty, dusty undertone. There's a hint of sealing wax and a nutty complexity that hints at maturation. The finish is lingering and gastronomic in character.
Structure and drinking window
With a 3 g/L dosage, the wine remains tight and dry, while aging has given it roundness. This 2013 is showing itself to be beautifully developed and ready to drink, with sufficient structure to age for several more years.

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | Deze Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru uit 2013 biedt een goudgeel, fijn mousserende wijn met aroma’s van gedroogde appel, amandel en toffee, aangevuld met subtiele hout- en cederaccenten, terwijl rijpe zuren en een licht ziltige, nootachtige complexiteit de smaak vervolmaken. Dankzij de lage dosage en lange rijping op de lies behoudt hij structuur en wijnerton, waardoor hij elegant samengaat met lichte tot geroosterde gerechten, zoals gegrilde vis en schaal- en schelpdieren, maar ook met barbecues en borrelplanken. Kies voor bereidingen die de zuurbalance goed onderstrepen, bijvoorbeeld gegrilde kreeft met botersaus of een zomerse visterrine, zodat de wijn zijn frisheid en diepte volledig kan laten schitteren. |

This shows mature character already with dried apple, hints of toffee, cedar and almonds. It’s full-bodied and layered with lovely fruit flavors and tangy acidity with a slight sealing-wax undertone and a dustiness. One for a meal. Interesting. Disgorged February 2022. 3g/L dosage. Drink now.
