100% Pinot Noir. Harvested 2017, disgorged 2019. Brut nature and very dry.
Pinot Noir made from 20 to 35 year old vines planted in limestone soil and Kimmeridgian subsoil lying 200 metres above sea level. The vines are cultivated using organic agriculture and the harvest is carried out manually when the grapes reach optimum ripeness.
Once the Clandestin Les Semblables Boréal grapes reach the winery, they undergo a direct pressing in whole bunches and alcoholic fermentation takes place with native yeasts. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels and, without refining or filtering, it undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle with its lees for a minimum of 24 months. Finally the champagne is disgorged with a dosage of 0 gr/l.
Made in the AOC Champagne, Clandestin Les Semblables Boréal is the perfect example of the best purity and expression of the terroir. Deep power and concentration, without adding or taking away anything. — 3 years ago

From a producer based in Peru’s Sacred Valley, hence the cervecería name. Great amber color with a plentiful nose. Light-medium body. Not as heavy as most IIPA’s I’ve tasted from the USA or Europe. ABV% tasted more like 7.3% than 9.3% but that’s always the trap with this style, isn’t it? Based on this, I’d hit this again and/or look to try other styles from this producer. 9.11.24. — 2 months ago
