Organic Champagne
Organic viticulture enables the plants to fortify its resistance to certain diseases through organic treatments. For example, nitrogen fixing plants to pull air into the soil, growing cover crops to attracts insects - a natural remedy for farming problems, or having small sheep graze the grass and weeds between the vine rows. The challenge however in a region like Champagne lies in its dual climatic influence. Sitting at the most northerly latitude, it is swayed by both maritime and continental weather. The regions’ tempestuous climate can wreak havoc on the vineyards and so it is necessary to use certain treatments otherwise this can prove fatal to crops.

Run by the Chiquet family since purchasing the property in 1978, brothers Jean-Herve and Laurent are at the helm and creating a different form of magic in their region of Dizy.

If so, you will comfortably align with the philosophy and beliefs of the Chiquet brothers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost, in fact all champagne houses create a non-vintage blend which aims at having a consistent ‘house-style’ year in year out, blending across multiple vintages and reserves to make the wine homogenous even if the year brings in extraordinary fruit. To the brothers Chiquet, they couldn’t quite accept a dumbing down of the wine to suit a style so instead, they decided to work with the best of that given year and change from making their ‘NV’ given the code ‘Cuvée No. 740 (base year: 2012)’ instead. The result is a wine that changes every year and reflects the best of their combined efforts and the offerings of Mother Nature. Cuvée No. 740 accounts for 90% of their production, which sits at 280,000 bottles. Although not organic, they are very hands-on in the vineyard and more non-interventionist in the winery which means, lower sulphur, low sugar addition (extra brut) across the range and no filtration which upholds both body and aromatics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood suggestion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend top quality Caviar such as \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/gourmetlife.com.au\/collections\/caviar\/products\/black-river-siberian-caviar-imperial-100gr\" title=\"Black River Russian Caviar Josh Rea Gourmet life\"\u003eBlack River Russian Caviar\u003c\/a\u003e from Siberia and lots of it.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2021-07-30T11:39:37+10:00","created_at":"2021-07-29T16:53:56+10:00","vendor":"Jacquesson","type":"Vintage","tags":["Blanc de blancs","chardonnay-dominant","Extra Brut","gift guide","Grower","Magnum","Marne Valley","New Arrival","Rare Collection","Rare Collections","Region: Dizy","Size: 1.5L","Size: Magnum","spo-default","spo-disabled","Taste: Chardonnay Dominant","Taste: Citrus","Taste: Fresh","Taste: Mineral","Taste: Organic","Taste: Wet Stone","Varieties: Chardonnay","Year: 2008"],"price":95000,"price_min":95000,"price_max":95000,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":39472467738733,"title":"Single","option1":"Single","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"JACQUESSON-DIZY-08-MAG","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":28281955844205,"product_id":6612616970349,"position":3,"created_at":"2021-07-29T16:54:26+10:00","updated_at":"2021-07-29T16:55:05+10:00","alt":"Jacquesson-Extra-Brut-Dizy-Corne-Bautray-Recolte-2008-Box-Emperor-Champagne","width":540,"height":1080,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Jacquesson-Extra-Brut-Dizy-Corne-Bautray-Recolte-2008-Box-Emperor-Champagne.jpg?v=1627541705","variant_ids":[39472467738733]},"available":true,"name":"Jacquesson Dizy Corne Bautray Récolte '08 Magnum (1.5L) Champagne -

The family runs just over 9 hectares, most of which in Avize but also in the Montagne de Reims and Ambonnay, also a small vineyard in the Marne Valley - Mardeuil. The main characteristics of De Sousa Champagne are; *'Vieilles Vignes' or old-vine viticulture. *The vineyards are ploughed traditionally by horse and some of the oldest vines go back to the early 1930's. *Full malolactic fermentation. *Extended lees ageing. *Ageing of reserve wines in barrel. Ericks' winemaking philosophy supports later ripening which allows the vines to benefit from the mineral-rich soils. This interaction enables the champagne to develop a palate profile that has abundance and purity and in our view, a remarkable length and finish compared to many other champagnes. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2021-05-18T15:07:00+10:00","created_at":"2021-05-18T14:08:45+10:00","vendor":"De Sousa","type":"Blanc de Blancs","tags":["Avize","Biodynamic","Blanc de blancs","Brut","Exclusive","Grand Cru","Grower","Kyri's Selection","Les Mesnil Sur Oger","Oger","Organic","Region: Avize","spo-default","spo-disabled","Taste: Almond","Taste: Biodynamic","Taste: Blanc de blancs","Taste: Chalk","Taste: Grand Cru","Taste: Herbal","Taste: Lemon Curd","Taste: Mineral","Taste: Nougat","Taste: Ripe Citrus","Year: NV"],"price":9995,"price_min":9995,"price_max":9995,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":39366168707181,"title":"Single","option1":"Single","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"DE-SOUSA_AVEC_BDB","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":28189443326061,"product_id":6576487333997,"position":1,"created_at":"2021-06-29T15:36:20+10:00","updated_at":"2021-07-02T12:34:43+10:00","alt":"De-Sousa-Avec-Le-Temps-Blanc-de-Blancs-Emperor-Champagne","width":540,"height":1080,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/DeSousa-_Avec-Le-Temps_-Blanc-de-Blancs-Emperor-Champagne.jpg?v=1625193283","variant_ids":[39366168707181]},"available":true,"name":"De Sousa 'Avec Le Temps' Blanc de Blancs Champagne - Single","public_title":"Single","options":["Single"],"price":9995,"weight":1500,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":33,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":"","featured_media":{"alt":"De-Sousa-Avec-Le-Temps-Blanc-de-Blancs-Emperor-Champagne","id":20458460086381,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.5,"height":1080,"width":540,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/DeSousa-_Avec-Le-Temps_-Blanc-de-Blancs-Emperor-Champagne.jpg?v=1625193283"}},"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/DeSousa-_Avec-Le-Temps_-Blanc-de-Blancs-Emperor-Champagne.jpg?v=1625193283"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/DeSousa-_Avec-Le-Temps_-Blanc-de-Blancs-Emperor-Champagne.jpg?v=1625193283","options":["Please select"],"media":[{"alt":"De-Sousa-Avec-Le-Temps-Blanc-de-Blancs-Emperor-Champagne","id":20458460086381,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.5,"height":1080,"width":540,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/DeSousa-_Avec-Le-Temps_-Blanc-de-Blancs-Emperor-Champagne.jpg?v=1625193283"},"aspect_ratio":0.5,"height":1080,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/DeSousa-_Avec-Le-Temps_-Blanc-de-Blancs-Emperor-Champagne.jpg?v=1625193283","width":540}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Fourth generation champagne producer based in Avize\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Made using 100% Grand cru fruit from Avize, Oger, Le Mesnil and Cramant \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Any fresh seafood to highlight the mineral dimension in this wine and it's citrus-driven texture.

The main characteristics of De Sousa Champagne are; *'Vieilles Vignes' or old-vine viticulture. *The vineyards are ploughed traditionally by horse and some of the oldest vines go back to the early 1930's. *Full malolactic fermentation. *Extended lees ageing. *Ageing of reserve wines in barrel. Ericks' winemaking philosophy supports later ripening which allows the vines to benefit from the mineral-rich soils. This interaction enables the champagne to develop a palate profile that has abundance and purity and in our view, a remarkable length and finish compared to many other champagnes. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e"}

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.

It’s made from relatively young vines, planted between 1995 and 2000, and unusually, Gautherot ages this wine on its fine lees for about nine months together with a healthy amount of fresh grapes, in order to give it a greater depth of flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bottle was disgorged in September of 2019, and from the nose alone it’s immediately evident that this isn’t chardonnay: its aromas veer towards crab apple, guava, mangosteen and litchi peel, turning to stone fruit and exotic citrus on the palate. While it’s clearly ripe, even opulently so, it’s surprisingly delicate in body, demonstrating a notable grace and poise. This is excellent, full of personality, and it feels seamless in its harmony from beginning to end, finishing with plenty of aroma and length.\" Peter Liem\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbout the house\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a true connoisseur’s champagne where craftsmanship is key. The vineyards are located in the true south of Champagne in the Cote de Bar and are meticulously governed by cult winemaker Bertrand Gautherot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGautherot, first and foremost makes a wine, the bubbles being incidental to what he is trying to achieve which is a wine that offers a sense of place. Almost all of the cuvees he produces are single vineyard (with the exception of Fidele) and single vintage. The wines have absolutely no dosage and are made at a lower bar of pressure resulting in finer bubbles and powerful vinous cuvees. Gautherots’ vineyards have been certified biodynamic since 1998 and his low yield, high intensity fruit translates to powerful wines that command food. Gautherot who was inspired by Jacques Selosse is one of the true legends of Champagne. These
