Description
What kind of wine it is
The Champagne Semper Fidelis Extra Brut produced by Delouvin Nowack is a captivating Blanc de Noirs that purely and authentically expresses the character of the red grape variety from which it originates. Made according to the Traditional Method, it appears in the glass with a bright straw yellow colour, enhanced by a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, it offers an intense and fruity aromatic bouquet, enriched by clear notes of candied fruit. On the palate, it reveals a broad and rich structure, offering an enveloping sip distinguished by its exceptional and long persistence.
Where it comes from
This cuvée is born in the heart of the renowned French region, where Champagne comes to life thanks to uniquely characteristic soils. The vines sink their roots into soils composed mainly of clay marls, a matrix that gives the structure fullness and a pronounced continuity of flavour. The Delouvin Nowack family manages these historic vineyards following strict principles of organic and sustainable agriculture. This deep agronomic dedication enhances the characteristics of Pinot Meunier, resulting in a glass with a straightforward profile that is highly representative of its place of origin.
How it is produced
The uniqueness of this cuvée lies in its complex vinification technique, based on a meticulous solera system matured in partially filled barrels. After the prise de mousse in the bottle, as required by the Traditional Method, the wine rests patiently in the cellar, undergoing 72 months of ageing, an essential period that defines its harmony and technical precision. The Extra Brut dosage highlights a dry and incisive sip. At the table, it proves perfect for enhancing fish starters and delicate shellfish, while its structure accompanies white meats, poultry, and cheese selections with great versatility, expressing itself best when served between 6 and 8°C.
History and Curiosities
The Delouvin Nowack family has been cultivating vines since the 16th century and has been producing Champagne under its own name since 1949. The Semper Fidelis Extra Brut is born from the excellence of Pinot Meunier grapes, grown on 5 dedicated hectares. This cuvée comes to life through an extraordinary solera in partially filled barrels, capable of perfectly blending over twenty historic vintages. Under the careful guidance of Bertrand Delouvin, the wine matures in the cellar with a 72-month ageing, offering a distinctive and elegant sip, the expression of rare artisanal dedication.
