Champagne Nowack, Cru d’Origine 'Les Riceys' Extra Brut 2015

Regular price $125.00 $140.00 Sale

Lutte Raisonnée. 100% Pinot Noir. This bottling from a single parcel in Les Riceys in the Cotes de Bar represents Nowack’s curiosity about other terroirs outside of his particular home of Vandières. This vineyard was planted in 1980 and 1985 on a southern exposure at 280 meters on marnes franches (clay/calcaire soils very close to the surface covered by only a little soil). Vinification is with fully spontaneous/natural yeasts. Base wine is unfined and unfiltered w/no cold filtration; secondary fermentation is triggered with natural grape must. Aging is done in small oak barrels. Disgorged March 22 after 60 months on the lees. No dosage- RS 3.4 g/l
