Cramant Nature Grand Cru
Origins
These Chardonnay grapes were picked in Cramant in 2017. During the tasting our casks in June, two of them caught our attention. We decided to leave these wines “still”. The terroir of Cramant without the bubbles!

Vinification and maturation
The natural alcoholic fermentation (indigenous yeasts) and the malolactic fermentation begin spontaneously in the casks. The wines are matured on the natural lees for 2 years, with some slight stirring but no filtering or fining being carried out.
Indigenous Yeasts
Indigenous yeasts are present naturally on the bloom of the grapes (unless the chemical treatments have been too aggressive).
Today, 99% of Champagnes are made using commercial yeasts, i.e. selected and then multiplied in the laboratory for the whole of Champagne. They are of very good quality, but contribute to the standardisation of tastes.
Tasting Notes
