To say that Gass works artisanally is an understatement: his methods are essentially those used a hundred years ago, and visiting his small winery on the rue Poincaré is practically like stepping into a time machine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGass owns just one hectare of vines, divided between seven parcels and all farmed organically. He plants all three varieties: while meunier is the predominant grape in this sector of the Vallée de la Marne, it represents a minority in Gass’s vineyards, as he favors pinot noir for its greater ageability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe presses his grapes in a traditional vertical press, and after a \u003ci\u003edébourbage\u003c\/i\u003e in old, enameled steel tanks, the must goes into barrels for native-yeast fermentation. His barrels, formerly used at Bollinger, date from 1937, and while they were rejected by the house for being too old, Gass thinks they’re perfect. “I’m not only aging wine in barrel,” he says, “I’m putting grape juice in these barrels to ferment, and they ferment new wine every year. So the older the barrels, the better they are.” It’s not only the barrels that are old, either: Gass does all of his racking and other winery operations by hand, and the tools that he uses are as ancient as his barrels are, making his cellar seem almost like a museum, albeit a fully functioning one.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn keeping with historical tradition, Gass’s wines don’t go through malolactic, and their acidities can be notably high by modern standards. However, he doesn’t see this as a problem, due to his winemaking methods. “The old barrels round out the wine and balance the acidity,” he says. “On paper, a wine with this sort of acidity is supposed to be undrinkable, but my wines are fine.” The wines eventually see a light isinglass fining, but they undergo no filtration, cold-stabilization or any other operation before bottling.

To say that Gass works artisanally is an understatement: his methods are essentially those used a hundred years ago, and visiting his small winery on the rue Poincaré is practically like stepping into a time machine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGass owns just one hectare of vines, divided between seven parcels and all farmed organically. He plants all three varieties: while meunier is the predominant grape in this sector of the Vallée de la Marne, it represents a minority in Gass’s vineyards, as he favors pinot noir for its greater ageability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe presses his grapes in a traditional vertical press, and after a \u003ci\u003edébourbage\u003c\/i\u003e in old, enameled steel tanks, the must goes into barrels for native-yeast fermentation. His barrels, formerly used at Bollinger, date from 1937, and while they were rejected by the house for being too old, Gass thinks they’re perfect. “I’m not only aging wine in barrel,” he says, “I’m putting grape juice in these barrels to ferment, and they ferment new wine every year. So the older the barrels, the better they are.” It’s not only the barrels that are old, either: Gass does all of his racking and other winery operations by hand, and the tools that he uses are as ancient as his barrels are, making his cellar seem almost like a museum, albeit a fully functioning one.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn keeping with historical tradition, Gass’s wines don’t go through malolactic, and their acidities can be notably high by modern standards. However, he doesn’t see this as a problem, due to his winemaking methods. “The old barrels round out the wine and balance the acidity,” he says. “On paper, a wine with this sort of acidity is supposed to be undrinkable, but my wines are fine.” The wines eventually see a light isinglass fining, but they undergo no filtration, cold-stabilization or any other operation before bottling.

Champagne Fleury’s conversion to biodynamics was at the hands of Jean-Sébastien’s father, Jean-Pierre. His interest in sustainable wine growing began in the 1970s when he tried using manual tilling (as opposed to herbicides) and composting (as opposed to synthetic fertilizers).

Champagne Fleury’s conversion to biodynamics was at the hands of Jean-Sébastien’s father, Jean-Pierre. His interest in sustainable wine growing began in the 1970s when he tried using manual tilling (as opposed to herbicides) and composting (as opposed to synthetic fertilizers). He began a trial with biodynamics, applying it to just 3 hectares, in 1989 and then in 1992 used it across the whole of his vineyard holdings. All 15 hectares that Fleury own (90% of which is Pinot Noir) are cultivated using biodynamics, which makes them the largest biodynamic producer in the entire Champagne region.

They are located in the small village of Urville in the Côte des Bar where Pinot Noir, the predominant grape variety, finds its purest expression and allows the production of very elegant, aromatic wines. With an annual production of some 1.5 million bottles, they are considerably larger than a small grower, but not quite of the size of the Grande Marques in and around Reims and Epernay. Drappier is one of the foremost producers in the region which is highly respected amongst its peers like Cédric Bouchard, Marie-Courtin, Vouette et Sorbée, and Jacques Lassaigne. They own 55 hectares of vineyards and use another 50 hectares under contract with other growers. A an interesting historical fact is that Charles de Gaulle (the Former Minister of the Armed Forces in France) was very fond of their Champagne and they named a cuvée after him. Amongst their range of excellent cuvées, they have a range including a ‘Sulphur free’, ‘Zero dosage’, and a ‘Blanc de blancs’ that contains a forgotten grape called Blanc Vrai.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFood suggestion\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp field=\"recipename\" itemprop=\"name\"\u003eWe love the sheer juiciness and fruit drive in this wine with a little tannic grip, so we thought let's go with a seared tuna steak or any variation of duck you may like.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2018-11-14T21:44:54+11:00","created_at":"2019-04-02T10:18:43+11:00","vendor":"Drappier","type":"Saignée","tags":["Club wines","Exclusive","Low Sulphur","Region: Urville","Taste: Aged 3 Years on Lees","Taste: Creamy","Taste: Floral","Taste: Malolactic Fermention","Taste: No Filtration","Taste: Organic","Taste: Pink Grapefruit","Taste: Pinot Noir Dominant","Taste: Saignee","Taste: Stainless Steel Fermentation","Taste: Textural","Taste: Texture","Taste: wild raspberry","Year: NV"],"price":9299,"price_min":9299,"price_max":9299,"available":false,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":15262840750189,"title":"Single","option1":"Single","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"DRAPPIER_ROSE","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":4771870539885,"product_id":1603365011565,"position":1,"created_at":"2019-04-02T10:21:13+11:00","updated_at":"2020-04-24T21:26:39+10:00","alt":"Drappier-Rose-de-Saignee-Emperor-Champagne","width":565,"height":737,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Drappier-Rose-de-Saignee-Emperor-Champagne.jpg?v=1587727599","variant_ids":[15262840750189]},"available":false,"name":"Drappier Rosé de Saignée - Single","public_title":"Single","options":["Single"],"price":9299,"weight":1000,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":0,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":"3469380630417","featured_media":{"alt":"Drappier-Rose-de-Saignee-Emperor-Champagne","id":1580718653549,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.767,"height":737,"width":565,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Drappier-Rose-de-Saignee-Emperor-Champagne.jpg?v=1569212692"}}}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Drappier-Rose-de-Saignee-Emperor-Champagne.jpg?v=1587727599"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Drappier-Rose-de-Saignee-Emperor-Champagne.jpg?v=1587727599","options":["Please select"],"media":[{"alt":"Drappier-Rose-de-Saignee-Emperor-Champagne","id":1580718653549,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.767,"height":737,"width":565,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Drappier-Rose-de-Saignee-Emperor-Champagne.jpg?v=1569212692"},"aspect_ratio":0.767,"height":737,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Drappier-Rose-de-Saignee-Emperor-Champagne.jpg?v=1569212692","width":565}],"content":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e- One of the oldest and most prominent houses in Champagne with little to no sulphur across the range \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Made using the maceration method and 100% pinot noir.

They are located in the small village of Urville in the Côte des Bar where Pinot Noir, the predominant grape variety, finds its purest expression and allows the production of very elegant, aromatic wines. With an annual production of some 1.5 million bottles, they are considerably larger than a small grower, but not quite of the size of the Grande Marques in and around Reims and Epernay. Drappier is one of the foremost producers in the region which is highly respected amongst its peers like Cédric Bouchard, Marie-Courtin, Vouette et Sorbée, and Jacques Lassaigne. They own 55 hectares of vineyards and use another 50 hectares under contract with other growers. A an interesting historical fact is that Charles de Gaulle (the Former Minister of the Armed Forces in France) was very fond of their Champagne and they named a cuvée after him. Amongst their range of excellent cuvées, they have a range including a ‘Sulphur free’, ‘Zero dosage’, and a ‘Blanc de blancs’ that contains a forgotten grape called Blanc Vrai.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFood suggestion\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp field=\"recipename\" itemprop=\"name\"\u003eWe love the sheer juiciness and fruit drive in this wine with a little tannic grip, so we thought let's go with a seared tuna steak or any variation of duck you may like.\u003c\/p\u003e"}
