- TASTING NOTE: A perfect introduction to the Champagne's of Vincent Couche. Deep notes of blackcurrant, along with yellow and white stone fruits. Lightly oxidative, unctuous, yet a fresh and driven finish.
- ABOUT THE WINE: Pinot 73%, Chardonnay 27%. Aged for 2 years on lees, 21% in barrel. Zero dosage.
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: The South of Champagne has often been lost to the shining, bigger houses which dominate the north. But, if you're game to venture just two hours south from Epernay, and only one hour from Chablis, you'll find the incredible wines of Côte des Bar. It is here in the lesser-known and authentic "south" you'll find Vincent Couche - grower, vigneron, artisan. Couche, quite simply put, is very intimate with his vineyard. He knows each vine, each plot of land, each slope, farming all 13 hectares biodynamically cross two terroirs: Buxeuil and Montguex. He also farms a 14 hectare vineyard in the north of Burgundy, in the commune of Molesme, which is in biodynamic conversion. His aim through biodynamic farming is to express the richness and complexity of his land to its full potential. Harvest is strictly by hand, sorted directly in the vineyard, with only ripe and healthy berries reaching the cellar to be pressed. Alcoholic fermentation uses only natural yeast, followed by vinification with little or no sulphites.
