Extra Brut

NV

Landreville

- Certified Organic grower from the Côte des Bar in the South of Champagne - No sulphur, natural approach to winemaking - Pair with some washed rind cheese and sourdough. What to expect from this organic delight? Charles Dufour Stillleben #8 "Very accessible already with red apples, tropical fruit and plenty of more red fruits. It’s a blend of 60% Pinot noir, 30% Chardonnay & 10% Pinot Blanc (base 2016 + wine from 2010 right through to 2015). Really enjoyed this bottle and besides the fruitiness that was very dominant it had some oxidative notes in the background, nice minerality and a floral touch." Sourced from our friend @champagneweathers on IG. About the house Charles Dufour is an considered one of the most important figures for organic champagne production. He is a vigneron from Côte des Bar in the village of Landreville. Charles Dufour is a wine grower representing a new generation of small vignerons. He started producing high quality Champagne in 2006 in the family business, then he decided to convert to organic agriculture, conversion completed with the harvesting in 2010. All grapes for his new line Charles Dufour - Les Vignes du 7 are now strictly certified. Charles' purist choice is not limited to the elimination of chemicals in the field, it also affects the vinification process, even though it is a very complicated one for Champagne. This is Charles Dufour's recipe for an authentic Champagne, able to reflect the terroir of the Côte with a round taste, before being successful Champagnes View more details

Larmandier practices a non-interventionist philosophy in the vineyards with an emphasis on low yields. A similar approach is taken in the cellar, where the wines are fermented with natural yeasts and bottled with low or no dosage in order to exalt the qualities of the sites the estate works with. The Larmandier-Bernier Champagnes are some of the purest and most utterly engaging wines being made in the region today.

Un until 1915 though, the family's main activity was to produce roof tiles and bricks. When the First World War conscription system was imposed, Ferdinand Nowack decided to produce his own champagne so the sales could provide for the family, whilst he and his son  were at the war front. After the war, they expanded their production and never looked back. Terroir - Caroline Henry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlavien joined his father in 2012 and decided to make some changes, notably, moving towards tilling the earth, incorporating biodynamic principles and being creating terroir-driven champagne. He studied at Avize university and was classmates with Guillaume Selosse, son of the infamous Anselme and it was he who showed him the differences in soil types and farming methods that encourage personality and expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood pairing\u003c\/h2\u003e\nBeing such an expressive and mineral driven champagne that's all about where's it's from rather than fancy winemaking, keep it simple.
