Producer:
Grape Variety:
100% Chardonnay
Tasting Note:
From a parcel of old chardonnay vines located on the border of Epernay and the Côtes des Blancs, the fruit is picked by hand and vinified and aged in neutral 300L barrels harvested from the nearby Hautvillers forest. After 6+ years of aging sur-latte, it was disgorged and bottled with zero dosage. Aromatically, the wine resonates with white fruits, citrus, and a clear, stony, mineral edge. On the palate, the wine is taught, balancing rich texture with electric acidity which gives the wine a feeling of power and weightlessness.
Vinification:
Hubert Soreau owns 0.49 hectares in Clos L’Abbe near Eperney and produces around 1000 bottles of
biodynamic champagne.
