Champagne Nowack - Les Bauchets - Extra Brut

The Nowack Champagnes, established in Vandières in the Marne Valley, embody a precise and contemporary parcel-based approach led by Flavien Nowack, heir to a family of winemakers since 1795. On the estate's 3.6 hectares, each parcel is isolated to faithfully express the uniqueness of its terroir. The predominantly limestone soils, mixed with sands and marls, give the wines tension and energy. Vinification favors natural fermentations and measured barrel aging, with deliberately low dosage to preserve purity and freshness. Parcel cuvées like Les Bauchets illustrate this quest for elegance and precision.

Les Bauchets Extra Brut is based on a 2021 vintage base, aged in barrels. Made exclusively from Pinot Noir, it comes from the "Les Bauchets" parcel, composed of sandy limestone soils on marls, providing structure and finesse. Barrel aging refines the matter and enhances aromatic complexity without masking the wine's natural freshness. The Extra Brut dosage highlights the clarity and balance of the whole. This cuvée expresses a chiseled and energetic reading of Pinot Noir in Champagne.

On tasting, the nose opens with subtle notes of anise and fennel, accompanied by a delicate floral touch. The palate reveals fine bubbles, a constant signature of Nowack champagnes. The wine is ample, structured, yet always carried by a lively freshness and great precision. The energy is palpable, the finish savory and persistent. A pure and fine Extra Brut Champagne, ideal to accompany a gastronomic aperitif, seafood, or refined cuisine.
