2020 Domaine Nowack 'Les Terres Bleues' Blanc De Meunier Extra Brut Champagne, France
$110.00
Organic. 100% Meunier. The top Pinot Meunier of the single-vineyard wines at Nowack, on sable and a particular fossil-rich limestone called terres bleues. The vineyard is planted at 180m, the very top of the best slope Flavien owns at his estate in Vandières, hence the bolded ‘Haut-côteau’ on the label. All fruit is from harvest 2020; 2 g/L dosage. Vinification is with fully spontaneous/natural yeasts; the base wine is unfined and unfiltered. Aging is done in small oak barrels. 2020, Flavien adds, was a bruisingly hot vintage with slightly lower acidity; as a result he’s chosen to do a dosage with this release to accent complexity and length.
