Blanc de Noirs Goustan Brut Nature Thomas de Marne 2022

The wine

Cuvée Goustan is a superb Blanc de Noirs Champagne made from Pinot Noir vines grown on parcels in the commune of Villesur-Arce entirely cultivated following organic principles. In the winery, the Pinot Noir grapes are vinified naturally without dosage to allow the fruit to reveal its purest aromatic expression. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentations are triggered spontaneously by native yeasts naturally present in the berries.
The delicate golden colour and remarkable effervescence are complemented by a charming, expressive nose bursting with generous fruity and floral aromas. The fresh, clean palate displays a superb structure and persistent fruit aromas, leading to a persistent and perfectly balanced finish. This Blanc de Noirs can be enjoyed young or after several years of cellaring.

About the Producer Thomas de Marne

Champagne Thomas de Marne is a family estate located in Ville-sur-Arce, in the heart of the Côte des Bar area of Champagne. It has held an organic certificate since 2007 and covers 6.2 hectares of vines – 5.7 of which are planted with Pinot Noir and the remaining 0.5 with Chardonnay. The vines which are 40 years old on average are harvested entirely by hand and these grapes go on to produce about 17,000 bottles per year. Thomas de Marne continues the sustainable work of his mother Valérie Frison, with an artisanal approach that respects nature. Vinification takes place without additives in oak barrels without filtration or fining to create Brut Nature Champagnes (no sugar is added during the second fermentation). The estate’s style can be described as delicate, mineral and lively.
