Famille Delouvin 'Fauve' Brut Nature Champagne N/V

The Famille Delouvin 'Fauve' Brut Nature Champagne is a rich and engaging wine crafted from a blend of 75% Chardonnay and 25% Pinot Meunier, grown on chalky soils in Vandieres, Vallée de la Marne. This Champagne is made with sustainable viticulture practices, avoiding herbicides, insecticides, and chemical fertilizers, while promoting soil health through natural treatments like compost and manure. The wine is fermented with ambient yeasts, aged on lees in both barrels and stainless steel tanks, and undergoes spontaneous malolactic fermentation, with minimal sulfur added. The result is a beautifully aromatic Champagne with aromas of butter, toast, and a touch of brioche, complemented by fresh nectarine and citrus notes. The palate is rich and full of depth, with a brilliant texture and piercing freshness, making it highly drinkable. Aged for six years on the lees before disgorgement with zero dosage, the 'Fauve' Champagne showcases a lovely balance of complexity, depth, and freshness. With only 4,000 bottles produced, this Champagne offers a unique expression of terroir and craftsmanship.
