Concentrated, powerful, ocean-deep layers of complexity viewed through a pin-head fine tension. It drives right to the core of what this category is all about.<\/p>\n<p>Chardonnay does the heavy lifting, but Pinot Noir and Meunier play a really important role in giving the electric structure more body and high-polished, elegant fruit richness.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly five years on lees wraps it in layers of toasty brioche, the year post-disgorgement on cork gives the whole wine a harmoniousness and finesse that\u2019s rare.<\/p>\n<p>Low-dosage (4 g\/l) keeps the fruit purity at the fore; it\u2019s a dreamy aperitif but many may prefer it with some food. Go shellfish, seafood or any kind, high-fat charcuterie, salty crispy nibbles.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/barriquefinewines.com\/product\/curators-cuvee-2014-artelium-sussex?utm_source=businessdesk&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_campaign=websitelisting\"><strong>For this fantastic sparkling wine, we\u2019re offering TheBusinessDesk subscribers a 15% discount!
