Vintage 2009 - Grand Cru Bouzy

This is the Champagne for special occasions, to share with a
few privileged amateurs, the palate clean and free of any
other food. Perfect now, it will age beautifully to provide a
rich, succulent wine.

Presentation

Picked by hand, with selective screening on the bunch. Half
Pinot Noir for its personality, its roundness and the typical
terroir character and half Chardonnay for its freshness and
particularly its lasting properties. The selection is made as a
priority from low-yield vines to achieve an accurate regional
quality. Dosage: 6 grams per litre.

The vintage

The ripening of the grapes took place this year under real summer conditions that Champagne had not known since the summer of 2003.
Hot, dry and very sunny weather accompanies the veraison during the second half of August.
The rainy interlude at the beginning of September will mainly result in a magnification of the grapes before the first shots of secateurs.
The return of a summer time from September 5 allowed the grapes to complete its maturation in optimal conditions.
We will remember the 2009 harvest as a vintage with an irreproachable health quality with almost no trace of botrytis.

Grand Cru from terroirs of BOUZY, AMBONNAY et LOUVOIS

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 returns it. She did the same with water to regulate the absorption by vines that plunges its roots up to 3-4 meters deep.
