Clandestin Boreal 2022 is a vintage Champagne from the Côte des Bars in France. Crafted from 100% Pinot Noir grown on north-facing clay-limestone soils with Kimmeridgian subsoil, this wine is made without filtration or dosage to maintain purity. It is celebrated for its tension and gripping minerality, offering a layered profile that combines the ripeness of the 2022 vintage with an austere, maritime character. The wine sees an élevage in neutral oak barrels before secondary fermentation in bottle, resulting in a deep, material concentration with notes of mulberry, sage, saffron and chestnut butter.
