100% Chardonnay, one plot, one vintage, an increadibly good Champagne !
The non-dosage Terre de Vertus Vintage Champagne is produced from one vineyard in the village of Vertus: Les Barillers, which are located in the heart of the Vertus vignoble, mid-slope on the rolling hills of the village with chalk and limestone soil. The vines are farmed biodynamically and the grapes are harvested by hand. The wine undergoes its alcoholic and malolactic fermentations in old oak casks, rather than stainless steel, and is generally aged a minimum of four years in the cool cellar prior to hand disgorgement and release. It is universally considered one of the most profound Zero Dosage Brut Nature produced in all of Champagne and ages brilliantly.
William Kelley, Oct 2022, Robert Parker / The Wine Advocate 93/100 points : The 2015 Brut Nature Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru Terre de Vertus continues to show well, offering up generous aromas of peach, orange oil, ripe melon, white cherries, buttery pastry, orange oil and dried white flowers. Full-bodied, layered and fleshy, with a vinous, muscular profile and a long, gently mordant finish, it's one of the more powerful wines in the range.
