Features

Style

Cuvée d'autrefois, vinifiée 'à l'ancienne', dans la pure tradition des mes grands-pères.

Cépages
Pinot Noir et Chardonnay uniquement, les meilleurs cépages nobles des grands vins de bulles, et de jus frais de Chenin pour prise de mousse à la place d'une liqueur de tirage.

Origine
Mes vignobles cultivés en bio sur Roquetaillade et les hauts de Magrie. Terroirs de fraîcheur argilo calcaire d'altitude en Haute Vallée de l'Aude au pied des Pyrénées.

Vigne
Terroir à forte dominante argileuse (frais et tardif). Raisins cultivés en bio à petit rendement (<25 hl/ha) et vendangés les premiers du cru Limoux à la main par tri en petites caissettes de 15 kg sans aucun transvasement (pas de seau ni de hotte) dans un état sanitaire absolument impeccable pour une vinification sans sulfites.

Vinification
Pressurage des raisins entiers chargés par gravité sans écrasement et sélection des meilleurs jus : seuls les jus de cœur de cuvées sont utilisés. Première fermentation et élevage 10 mois sur lies sans soufre en fûts demi muids de 10 ans et plus.

Élevage
Après un élevage en fûts de type 'Bourguignon à l'ancienne', le vin devenu riche et puissant va se rééquilibrer 'sur lattes' en bouteilles grâce à la seconde fermentation (toujours sans aucun sulfite) qui va consommer tout l’oxygène présent. Après une maturation sur lies supplémentaire en bouteilles, le remuage et l'expulsion du dépôt avant le bouchage définitif, cette cuvée ne reçoit aucun ajout de liqueur de dosage : c'est donc un Brut Nature non dosé et sans sulfite!

Analyse
Acidité totale : 4,20 g/l; pH : 3,00; sucre résiduel : 1 g/l; 12% alc.; SO2 L = <7 mg ; SO2 T < 10 mg.

Dégorgement décembre 2022

Dégustation
Bulle fine. Robe or clair à nuance argentée. Nez mûr, fruits à chair blanche poire, brioché, épicé poivre blanc. Bouche élégante, équilibrée matière-fraîcheur, une touche de pain grillé et une jolie persistance.

Consommation
Apéritif avec des amandes, homard, Mont d'Or au four, colombo de porc, cantal.
Optimum de rondeur de 6 à 12 mois après la date de dégorgement indiquée sur la contre-étiquette. Pas d'oxydation constatée avant + 18 mois.

What is an author wine?

These can be so diverse depending on the personality of their sire, that it is easier to define what it is not. An author wine is anything but a standard, stereotypical wine, made to please as many people as possible. It is therefore rarely produced in millions of copies, copying itself from vintage in vintage.

An author wine is therefore a wine that does not look like that of the neighbor. Which from year to year will evolve according to the vagaries of the weather and the mood of the author - the two that can be linked. Because the author does not rely on market studies to carry out his boat. He makes his wine as he feels, as he likes, as he can, sometimes ... and too bad if he does not please everyone.

This is why author wines are sometimes classified as "table wine" or "France wine". Because the winemaker did not plan the authorized grape variety*, makes the assembly or vinification recommended in the name **. He is often a bit rebellious, our author. But that is why we like it! ... That said, author's wines are not systematically marginal: they are present in most of the appellations, and can be part of the elite of these this***. Because they are not content to have personality: they are good, in addition! With in general aDegree of TorchabilityVery high: we never tire of it at the end of the first sip.

As author's wines are not chaptalized, levied, hacked ... They can have very different profiles depending on the vintage. It is up to us (resellers and consumers) to accept them as they are, and to remain faithful to the producers, because they need us to continue their activity.

* For example, theTouriga Nacionalin the Minervois, or theSyrahIn Forez ribs. They are crazy, these authors!
