Champagne Brut Nature «Le Champ Dame Jeanne»

This time it's Chardonnay, bottled without any dosage. Yes, you're right, “pas dosé” is in vogue, but beware, not every wine without dosage is automatically a good wine. If the winemaker plans to make his wine without using sugar liqueur, he must take the right precautions in the vineyard. He has to drastically reduce yields, because otherwise he cannot be sure of harvesting properly ripe grapes, which is the basis for a dosage-free wine.

Of course, Julien doesn't need to be taught anything, because he is an agricultural engineer, someone who knows exactly what he wants and how to achieve it. He has already proven this with his Jolie Promenade, hasn't he?

The Champ Dame Jeanne also grows in Cerseuil, in a vineyard that Julien inherited and lovingly tends. Fermentation begins spontaneously and the wine is aged in wooden barrels. There is no reserve wine, so this is a pure 2020 vintage. The aroma is wonderful, and the mouthfeel is even better! I almost said divine. The energy of the wine is omnipresent and gives it a seemingly endless finish. This wine has aging potential; just a note for those of you who love mature champagne. However, it might be a challenge to resist the temptation to let the one bottle you managed to get your hands on age.
