Vouette et Sorbee Champagne Blanc d'Argile Brut Nature Magnum

Description

The surprise. A pure chardonnay, vine from 4 to 8 years, vinification with prolonged breeding in oak barrels (as for all the wines of the domain), not dosed. Some people think of a Chablis wine with bubbles ... Yields up to 30 hl / ha. The first vintage was 2004 and, given the success of this bottle, I try to match it. Again it is the type of clay that makes us choose these plants (thank you Claude). The minerality is exacerbated by the particular climate of the vine of Bas des Biaunes (maturity, ecosystem) fresh and varied ecology.

From this winery

• Hectares: 5

Anchored on the grounds of the Upper Jurassic Champagne, the 5 hectares of vineyards have an average age of 21 years. More than 3/4 of the plantations are on Kimmeridgian hillsides, the last quarter is a fragmented plate in pure Portlandian and receives fine pinots (locality Sorbée).

The grape variety, currently dominated by Pinot Noirs, is slowly evolving towards more Chardonnay because of our Chablisian proximity: pedology, climate, fauna, flora, density of plantation, internal surface of clays. All the year we are five to work, helped during the shots by some friends, students, brothers-in-law, family and trainees. The culture is very worried, the composts fermented at the end of the vine, the heavy tractor gone, the fruit trees replanted, the cows tamed, in short ... that happiness!

The domain is certified Organic Farming and DEMETER by Quality France since 1998. Nothing chemical, synthetic zero, only life !!! The picking is manual and spread over about 3 weeks. A traditional vertical chestnut provides pressing. From this stage everything is simple: without pumping, the juices are decanted and go down in the barrels of 400 liters, pieces or leaflets ... to the choice. The fermentations are done thanks to the yeasts present on the berry pruine.

The breeding continues until the spring which will naturally start the malolactic fermentations. Then rest the setting, the foam on slats, riddling on desks, disgorging on the fly, finally the dressing. All cellar operations are done by the people who work the vineyards of the estate in order to be fully aware, involved and proud of themselves. Read more
