From the importer, Polaner Selections:

"The Cazé family have been growing grapes on the western side of the Vallée de la Marne for ten generations. Maison Cazé was created in 1953 when Roger Cazé became the first in his family to estate bottle. Since the 2013 vintage, Fabien Cazé has farmed 2.66 hectares of his family’s vines, which he selected for his own small and ambitious project. These vineyards are made up of a diverse and complex array of six different parcels in the villages of Châtillon-sur-Marne and Vandières on the right bank of the Marne River. He proudly continues the family tradition of meticulous farming and producing precise and elegant wines that transmit the character of these long-nurtured terroirs. 

With his recent induction (after only his second release) into the exclusive Terre et Vins, a collective of progressive and highly regarded winegrowers in Champagne such as Pascal Agrapart and Raphael Bérêche, it is clear that Fabien’s wines are turning heads. The Cazé line up starts with his “Naturellement” cuvée which is a pure and bracing rendition of 100% Pinot Meunier. As with many top vignerons in the region, he also produces a range of tiny parcellaire cuvées highlighting specific grape varieties and terroirs. In general, these are aged for a longer period en tirage before release.

The term “rising star” gets casually tossed around a little too often in today’s wine world. That said, the Cazé-Thibaut Champagnes have already caught the attention of many Champagne lovers and professionals, and are sure to develop a loyal following in the years to come."

What importer Polaner Selections has to say about this wine...

VARIETAL NOTES
100% Pinot Meunier
VINEYARD
From 6 small parcels of vines in Châtillon and Vandières on the western edge of the Vallee de la Marne.
SOIL
Clay limestone
VITICULTURE
Parcels are worked without the use of any herbicides or pesticides. Fabien “scratches” or hoes the soils preferring to minimally disrupt the soil structure and plant life. From pruning to harvesting all vineyard work is done by hand and each parcel is harvested separately. Harvesting occurs when the grapes are at optimal ripeness.
VINIFICATION
Grapes are pressed slowly and gently and all juice is moved by gravity into steel tank. Once each parcel is pressed, half of the juice is transferred into a combination of 228, 350, and 330L barrels for a long, cold and slow native yeast fermentation in Caze's underground cellar. Malolactic fermentation is not forced and with the cave’s low temperatures, rarely completes. No filtration occurs and dosage levels are determined by blind taste testing before final disgorgement.
AGING
Aged 24 months sur lattes. Dosage 0g/L Disgorgement February 2024

Champagne

Champagne boasts some of the world’s greatest luxury brands with Krug, Cristal and, of course, Dom Perignon. But it’s also home to hundreds of small dynamic producers—farmers who grow their own grapes (often organically) and make (often with natural methods) tiny amounts of pure and absolutely delicious wine that reflect the individual personalities of their villages and terroirs. Toast with these wines, for sure. But also treat them like the great wines they are: taste, drink, explore!
