Cose 'Les Rocheforts' Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru Extra Brut, Champagne, France [2023]
$125.00
From a single parcel in the 1er Cru of Bisseil, east of Mareuil. Les Rochforts is the oldest plot of Chardonnay that Antoine Bouvet farms, planted in 1958; very chalky section of Bisseil, in the coeur de terroir.
Pressed at Antoine Bouvet according to his press cycle using a vertical Coquard basket press. The juice is collected by Champagne Cose without sedimentation and without SO2 and brought back to the winery in Chouilly. The must goes directly into used 225 liter barrel sourced from Jaques Selosse, which are between 2nd and 5th use, from a mix of French coopers. Fermentation is natural, but a pied de cuve may be added to encourage the wine to finish completly dry. Malolactic happens naturally, but not to every barrel each year and SO2 is added to the barrels only if absolutly necessary. Elevage lasts until late July or Early August when the wines are bottled with a prise de mousse under cork. After 18-24 months sur latte, the bottles are disgorged.
18-24 months surlattes; zero dosage; Disgorged July 31, 2025; released November 2025
