Champagne Nowack - Other Cru - Extra Brut
The Champagnes Nowack, located in Vandières in the Marne Valley, embody a contemporary and parcel-specific vision of Meunier. Flavien Nowack, representative of the new family generation, precisely cultivates the 3.6 hectares of the estate, focusing on a fine understanding of soils and exposures. Each parcel is vinified separately to reveal the unique identity of its terroir. The cellar approach favors natural fermentations, long aging, and very measured dosages. This requirement gives rise to precise, elegant, and deeply identity-driven champagnes.
Other Cru Extra Brut is a unique cuvée, made from a blend of the 2020 and 2021 vintages, aged in barrels. Made exclusively from Pinot Meunier, it comes from three distinct parcels with varied soils of clays, white sands, and marls, bringing complexity and relief. Barrel aging refines the texture and develops a subtle controlled oxidative dimension. The very low dosage, 1 g/L, highlights the purity of the wine and its natural balance. This cuvée showcases all the nobility of Meunier worked with precision.
On tasting, the nose is fine and delicately fruity. The palate is ample, carried by fine and delicate bubbles, with notes evolving towards dried fruits and a slight elegant oxidative touch. The balance between body and freshness gives the wine depth and purity. The finish is clean, persistent, and harmonious. This Extra Brut Champagne will accompany both aperitifs and gourmet meals, revealing all its complexity at the table.
