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\n\u003cp\u003eUsually we would be using the acidity and fruit profile to work in with a dish however as this wine is so suave and decadent with a herbal-mineral edge, we would suggest going for a dish with similar richness like a creamy mushroom and herb linguine or homemade Vitello Tonnato - \u003cspan\u003ean Italian dish of cold, sliced veal covered with a creamy, mayonnaise-like sauce that has been flavoured with tuna.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e"}
