Varietal Notes
100% Pinot Noir
Biodynamic
Practicing
Vineyard
Single parcel of Les Cochènes in the village of Chenay, planted in 1990. Sandy, clay-limestone soils, mild south-facing slope. Incorporates biodynamic methods, along with vitiforestry.
Vinification
100% 2019; Grapes are lightly pressed and fermented using natural yeast. Vinification occurs in jarres and oak barrels. No chaptalization, malolactic fermentation can occur but is not forced. The juice is bottled on fruit days in locally produced bottles. Alexandre bottles with 22 grams of sugar instead of the more typical 24 grams, resulting in a softer, finer mousse.
Aging
Aged 24 months in demi-muids; sur lattes 24+ months; all riddling is done by hand and Alexandre will do "poignettage". Unfined and unfiltered; disgorged by hand according to the lunar calendar April 12, 2023; 16 mg/L total SO2, 3,8gr/l RS, zero dosage.

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!
