Bouzy Rouge 2004
Roguish with a good snack of charcuterie, bourgeois accompanying all kinds of game, it
will be refined and eccentric with a red fruit tart, with which it’ll open out liveliness and common aromas.
Presentation
Picked by hand from the vines halfway up the slopes, over 20 years old, the sunniest years. Search for the
greatest maturity. Selective screening on the bunch. Made entirely from Pinot Noir.
The vintage
After an "extremist" 2003 , the 2004 campaign took place smoothly, in perfect continuity climate particularly favorable to the vine and wine.
Despite a relatively dry start to the season , the vine has benefited of a rainy August . Water stocks have recovered . To conclude, a peaceful climate , without excess with rare and limited climatic accidents, drought began early and consistent with the thermal balance decade .
2004 vintage : This is too good ! Mildew had appeared at the end with the rains in mid -August and remained very localized attacks . Powdery mildew posed a little more problems.
The year was marked by big healthy grapes with record weight : 200 g for chardonnay and pinot black. Botrytis , sworn enemy , was not present this year. In conclusion on this vintage , a very mature and honorable crop. During this period, the sun entered the hearts and musts in tanks with a big and beautiful harvest.

Terroir
Bouzy is a village of Grande Montagne de Reims, especially of the "Côte des Noirs (Coast of Blacks)" because stronghold of Pinot Noir.
On its slopes, vine grows on soils constituted of fragments of millstones, pebbles and sand mixed with clays of decalcification of millstones, resulting of runoff. Silts of the plate cover with a fertile coat the tops of hills, and old alluvium formed of sand, gravel and chalk pebbles.
It is well suited to the Champagne wine. Usually light in color, it provides in the day, in favor of the vine, a good reflection of the warmth and light. Rather thin, it is conducive to quality
The basement is chalk bélemnites upper Santonian (Campanian) and chalk micrasters Lower Senonian of the Marne.
Deposed by the seas of the end of the Mesozoic era, there was a few hundred million years the chalk of Cretaceous can go down to 200 meters deep. It absorbs heat and return it. She did the same with water to regulate the absorption by vines that plunges its roots up to 3-4 meters deep.
The climate is generally that of the Paris Basin, with generally mild winters, uncertain spring, hot summers and cool autumns but usually quite beautiful.
