Domaine Nowack has made wine in the Vallée de la Marne since 1795—eight generations of tradition distilled into a small estate. Flavien Nowack's approach is methodical: single-parcel vinifications, no chaptalisation, no malolactic fermentation, indigenous yeasts. What sets this wine apart is the use of unfermented grape must for the secondary fermentation, creating lower bottle pressure and a silky mouthfeel without heaviness. Seventy-five percent Pinot Meunier with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. "Les Terres Bleues" references the distinctive blue-toned soils. Extra Brut dosage (under 6g/L) provides subtle balance.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What Polaner Selections has to say about this wine:

VarietalsPinot MeunierVarietal Notes100% MeunierBiodynamicPracticingVineyardThe top Meunier of the single-vineyard wines at Nowack, on planted on sand and a particular fossil-rich limestone called terres bleues. The vineyard is planted at 180m, the very top of the best slope Flavien owns in Vandières, which he labels as ‘Haut-côteau’OrientationSouth facing, high up on the slope at 180 meters.SoilSandy soils with a fossil rich limestone called Terres BluesViticultureFarmed organically and using biodynamic methodsVinificationPressed at Champagne Nowack by Flavien Nowack according to his press cycle using a vertical Coquard basket press. The juice is collected by Champagne Cose without sedimentation and without SO2 and brought back to the winery in Chouilly. The must goes directly into used 225 liter barrel sourced from Jaques Selosse, which are between 2nd and 5th use, from a mix of French coopers. Fermentation is natural, but a pied de cuve may be added to encourage the wine to finish completly dry. Malolactic happens naturally, but not to every barrel each year and SO2 is added to the barrels only if absolutly necessary. Elevage lasts until late July or Early August when the wines are bottled with a prise de mousse under cork. After 18-24 months sur latte, the bottles are disgorged.Aging18-24 months surlattes; zero dosage; Disgorged July 31, 2025; released November 2025

Tasting Profile

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!
