Tendresse 75cl
Pale golden robe with a subtly burnished hue, fine and persistent bead. On the nose, a floral opening of acacia and white blossom, followed by candied citrus and a gentle buttery, vanilla note drawn from barrel ageing. On the palate, the attack is crisp and mineral, held taut by a complete absence…

Aromatic profile
The structure of this champagne
Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
Zero dosage reveals a bright, incisive acidity, underpinned by the mineral character of the Kimmeridgian soils.
Roundness
Nine months of barrel ageing imparts a buttery, enveloping texture — a hallmark of the 2012 vintage.
Power
The sun-drenched 2012 growing season combined with barrel vinification lend breadth and depth to this Blanc de Blancs.
Length
The finish lingers on toasted almond and candied citrus, with a saline persistence that is quite remarkable.
TASTING NOTES
Pale golden robe with a subtly burnished hue, fine and persistent bead. On the nose, a floral opening of acacia and white blossom, followed by candied citrus and a gentle buttery, vanilla note drawn from barrel ageing. On the palate, the attack is crisp and mineral, held taut by a complete absence of dosage; the generosity of the 2012 vintage then unfolds with considerable breadth, closing on a long, saline finish of toasted almond.

The composition
Discover this wine's DNA
0g/LDosage
100%Chardonnay
Terroirs
Vines rooted in the Kimmeridgian soils of the Côte des Bar (Aube), a finely chalky clay-limestone subsoil that lends Chardonnay its characteristic mineral tension and vivacity. The Blanc de Blancs blend is drawn from a rigorous selection of plots farmed under certified Organic Agriculture.
About this house
Maison Louise Brison is a small family domaine in the Côte des Bar (Aube), run with quiet conviction and an absolute respect for terroir. Committed to responsible viticulture, the estate began its organic conversion in 2017 and received full Agriculture Biologique certification from the 2020 vintage.
True to a resolutely zero-dosage philosophy, Louise Brison produces only vintage cuvées, aged in oak barrels and released after a minimum of six years on lees. A rare approach in Champagne, crafted for wines of deep character and proven ageing potential.
Food pairing
The perfect pairing
Between the champagne and its dish
Aperitif
Its incisive minerality and fine effervescence make it a natural aperitif companion, lifting the delicate cheesy richness of gougères to perfection.
Starter
The vibrant acidity and citrus notes of the Brut Nature engage elegantly with the fresh herbs and citrus of a salmon gravlax.
Main Course
The richness and depth of this barrel-aged Blanc de Blancs finds an exceptional match in lobster, playing on the interplay of iodine and butter.
