Description
What style of wine it is
Les Bas Vigny Extra Brut by Oudiette Filles is a Champagne Blanc de Blancs produced exclusively from Chardonnay grapes in the renowned Champagne region. This appellation is distinguished by a fresh, sharp and deeply mineral profile, characterised by a linear palate and a long, dry finish. Produced strictly according to the Traditional Method, this wine ferments spontaneously and matures with great care to enhance its natural structural qualities. Its distinct citrus energy and gustatory tension make it the ideal accompaniment for shellfish dishes, sushi and soft cheeses.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in the territory of Beaunay, a village located in the French region of Champagne. The area is characterised by a semi-continental climate with strong oceanic influences, conditions that ensure the correct and constant development of the vines. The true peculiarity of the parcel of origin lies in the soil composition, consisting of a thin surface layer of lignite clay and silica resting on a bed of friable chalk. This specific geology clearly shapes the profile of the wine, enriching it with a vibrant mineral sapidity. Agricultural management aims to actively preserve the ecosystem and the biotope of the vineyard.
How it is produced
The vinification begins with dynamic settling, followed by a fermentation conducted entirely by indigenous yeasts. The wine ages for about eleven months in oak barrels without any use of bâtonnage, also avoiding fining or filtration practices to protect the original integrity of the must. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle according to the Traditional Method, where the wine rests for a long time in contact with its own lees before the final stages. During the disgorgement phase, no dosage liqueur is added, thus resulting in a zero-dosage Extra Brut capable of faithfully translating the natural expression of the fruit.
History and interesting facts
This single-plot cuvée is a testament to artisanal craftsmanship and respect for the terroir, produced by the winegrower Maxime Oudiette in the village of Beaunay. Originating exclusively from the specific Les Bas Vigny plot, the work highlights the geological uniqueness of the soil in an exemplary manner, composed of a layer of silica and lignite clay resting on friable chalk. The production, limited to only two thousand and eight bottles, reflects a rigorous artisanal viticulture that aims to preserve the local biotope and ecosystem, ensuring an authentic expression of the terroir.
