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.
