The Facts

Origins France > Burgundy

Varietal Chardonnay

Cepage 100% Champagne & Sparkling - Vintage

Winemaking The juice is extracted from a pneumatic press: only the first press juices, called “Cœur de Cuvée” are kept, ie a juice yield of around 70 liters of base wine for 150 kg of pressed grapes. The must is then placed in a stainless steel vat, for natural cold settling (24 hours). Once the fermentation is completed, the wine is drawn into sealed bottles, with the addition of a mixture of sugars and yeasts. The bottles will remain lying on slats for a minimum of 2 years at a temperature of between 12 and 15°C for the fermentation to take place. The bottles are then shaken and disgorged before being dosed at less than 6gr/liter of grape sugar called “liqueur d’édition” (Extra-brut). After the final closure of the bottle with a cork stopper, a metal muselet and its dressing, it can ideally be tasted 2 months later after the disgorging date written on the back label.

The Character

Tasting Notes Its subtle scent reminds white flowers, jasmine, linden and honeysuckle. If it reminds a fruit, the white peach is its dominant. On the palate, its fine bubbles burst with aromas of toasted hazelnuts and gingerbread. As it opens, its volume gains in amplitude and length, it expresses a fine and powerful vinosity. At the end of the tasting, the mineral rubs shoulders with bitter orange.

The Story

This Cremant comes from only one of our plots planted with Pinot noir and Chardonnay. The vineyard is located in the extension of the Côtes de Nuits near the Ecrin des Climats area of the vineyard, in the town of Talant at the gates of Dijon (Capital of gastronomy).
