Unsulfured Champagne is rare and genuinely difficult, and this is a whole bottling of it made from Meunier alone — the grape most houses use as filler. Chavost sits in Chavot-Courcourt in the Coteaux Sud d'Epernay, where a small post-war cooperative spent decades selling its juice to the big houses until Fabien Daviaux, the son of a member, agreed to become winemaker on three conditions: farm organically, buy a smaller press so he could work in precise batches, and let him make wine without sulfur. They said yes. The soils here are a hodgepodge of clay, sand, alluvium, chalk and limestone across a jumble of elevations and expositions, and Fabien harvests well after his neighbors to get the full ripeness that sans-soufre winemaking demands. Only first-press juice goes in, fermentation and malolactic run spontaneously in temperature-controlled stainless, and the wine is bottled with zero dosage. Nervy, transparent Champagne made without a safety net.

"The NV Brut Nature Blanc de Meunier is a pure Meunier made without any addition of sulfur dioxide. A gorgeous sense of crushed blackberry perfumes the bright sea breeze nose. The slender palate is quite light. Its airiness is underlined by foamy bubbles while purity, poise and subtle pastry present amplitude. The bone-dry finish is long and smooth. Dosage is zero." —Antonio Galloni

More about Champagne Chavost

Champagne Chavost is the rebel formula: no commercial yeasts, no sulfites added at bottling, no filtration, zero dosage. Fabian Daviaux runs this small cooperative in Vallée de la Marne and lets the Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier speak for themselves through spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeast. Lean, tense, alive. These are Champagnes for people who believe in the power of doing less.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Fried chicken, jamón and salty snacks, roast pork, mushrooms on toast, or a plate of soft cheese. It has the weight to handle richer food than most Champagne.

Tasting Profile

Red apple, ripe pear, bruised orchard fruit, and a little bread dough and smoke. Medium-bodied and dry to the bone with no dosage sweetness, fine bubbles, and a chalky, savory finish.
