Clandestin is growing into an ambitious negociant project in Landreville, working with 11 organic growers in the Côte des Bar to put together Champagnes that focus on either north-facing (Boréal) or south-facing (Austral) vineyards. The style at Clandestin is frank, even austere at times, but with a beguiling aromatic complexity and presence from intense fruit and smart oak vinification. It is the cooler, more incisive and precise Boréal cuvée that shines in the hot 2022 base, with some of the juiciness of the year opening up with Comice pear and tangerine fruit before complex layers of jasmine, dried lime and lightly resinous notes. Firm and imposing but not heavy, 100% Pinot Noir. Of other vintage bases in the market, skip 2021 and look for 2020.
