Recaredo Corpinnat 'Terrers' Brut Nature 2020

With over five years of lees aging, hand-riddling, and manual disgorgement, “Terrers” is a cuvée that sees more back-of-house time and labor than the overwhelming majority of Champagnes. Mineral forward Xarel-lo makes up the backbone of the wine, fortified with Macabeu and a hint of Parellada. Bright and refreshing, with snappy orchard fruits, and citrus blossom all given definition by sizzling acidity. Its extended lees contact is felt in the wine’s palate-commanding breadth. It possesses a precision that shames its peers, all the while remaining irresistibly delicious.
