Champagne Dosage Zero Brut Nature Bio

Description

This Champagne Dosage Zero, the fruit of the labors of the Vincent Couche cellars, is an AOC Champagne Brut. It is a biodynamic white sparkling wine, made with the classic pas dosé method, and is produced in France, in the Champagne region. The history of this wine is very ancient and intertwined with legend: its tradition dates back three hundred years. It is said to have been invented by the Benedictine abbot Dom Pierre Pérignon, but there are different versions regarding its origins; over time, the evolution of Champagne has meant that today it is preferred not to add sugar, as was done in the past. Hence the Champagne Dosage Zero, which does not require the addition of sugar, in order to preserve its authentic and "naked" flavor. The Champagne Dosage Zero Vincent Couche is the result of a blend that combines Chardonnay grapes (33%) and Pinot Noir grapes (67%). Some of the Chardonnay grapes are grown near Montgueux, characterized by chalky soil; the Pinot Noir grapes, however, are found in Buxeil. Both vineyards are cultivated strictly biodynamic and the harvest takes place in early September, using only ripe and healthy grapes. Finally, the winemaking process follows the classic method or champenoise method with a second fermentation in the bottle for 8 years.

From this winery

• Start up year: 1973
• Bottles produced: 60.000
• Hectares: 13

Vincent Couche is a young Vigneron of the Cote des Bar, 10 hectares of vineyards planted with Pinot Noir in 1973 in Buxeuil and 3 hectares of vines planted with Chardonnay in 1985 in Montgueux. Since 2008 he has been running the family Domaine with biodynamic practices (Demeter certified) for maximum respect of all forms of life in, on and under the soil.. The density of the vines, up to 10,000 vines per hectare increases competition between the vines, which, by reducing the production, ensures the bunches are fully ripe. Great passion and determination for an annual output of about 60,000 bottles. Read more
