Francois Secondé - Intégral Zéro Dosage

The same blend and base vintage as the Brut Grand Cru, 66% Pinot Noir, 34% Chardonnay, base 2021, 30% perpetual reserve, but without any dosage liqueur at disgorgement. Zero. Where the Brut Grand Cru offers roundness through the 7 g/l of dosage, the Intégral is raw, honest and saline. Aromas of pineapple and passion fruit dominate. A champagne for those who want to taste Sillery Grand Cru without any addition, at its most direct and unvarnished.

Tasting notes: Freshness and salinity, the defining Secondé mineral signature without any softening from dosage. Aromas of pineapple and passion fruit, with the characteristic saline finish of the Sillery terroir that makes these wines so distinctive. Clean, precise and long.

Food pairing: An exceptional aperitif for those who prefer mineral over round. Perfect with fine oysters, sea urchin, raw shellfish and the most delicate sushi.
