Description
What kind of wine is it
Sur le Grand Marais Brut Nature is the Champagne produced by Eric Taillet. This Traditional Method is created from a meticulous blend of Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay, offering a pure expression thanks to the absence of dosage. It displays a straw yellow colour, enlivened by a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, floral and fruity notes emerge, intertwined with clear hints of yeast. On the palate, it reveals a dry, broad and rich character, distinguished by a marked minerality that supports its structure.
Where does it come from
The grapes come from six villages located around Baslieux-sous-Châtillon, in the Champagne region. The vineyards, covering just over five hectares, are rooted in marly, clay and sandy soils. This specific geological composition imparts a distinct savoury note to the wine. Eric Taillet has managed the plots since 1995 with a respectful agricultural philosophy. The agronomic characteristics of the parcels translate into a dry and vertical sip, outlining a clear expression of the terroir of origin.
How is it produced
The process follows the Traditional Method and is characterised by a complete absence of filtration. A distinctive technical element is the use of the Solera system in partially filled barrels, aimed at preserving aromatic continuity and enhancing structural complexity. The wine then undergoes 60 months of ageing on the lees, which is essential for enriching its bouquet. This meticulous process results in a persistent Brut Nature, capable of combining rich substance with rigorous gustatory precision.
