Rosé ! Chavost

The wine

Crafted by Fabian Daviaux and the Chavot-Courcourt winemaking cooperative, this Brut Nature rosé de saignée reflects the new energy of Champagne: authenticity, small-volume production and unadorned winemaking. The Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes come from the clay-limestone and loamy slopes around Chavot-Courcourt, as well as parcels near Épernay. The limestone subsoil threaded with clay pockets brings purity, freshness and mineral tension to the fruit. In the winery, the grapes undergo short macerations before a portion of the juice is drawn off to concentrate both colour and intensity. Fermentation occurs naturally with native yeasts, followed by ageing in oak and traditional maturation on laths.
In the glass, the luminous salmon hue is bright and inviting. The nose opens with fresh red fruit notes, hints of candied citrus and subtle spice. On the palate, a clean attack reveals a fleshy core of fruit, while lively acidity carries the wine towards a long, delicately spiced finish.

About the Producer Chavost

Established in 1946, the domain is named after the village of Chavost, nestled between the church of Saint-Martin and Mont-Félix, topped by a sumptuous château. The first winemakers gathered their strengths to share their love of the land by producing quality wines. All the parcels are rooted in exceptional terroirs, comprising clay and limestone, and enjoy a north-facing exposure. Convinced of the benefits of organic practices for the land and the cuvées, the domain nurtures its five hectares of vines with great care and is currently in the process of converting to organic farming. Today, the wines are made and marketed by Fabian Daviaux. Following over a decade travelling around the world, he is back with new projects to vinify his unique Champagnes in his own style. Since 2019, he has been elaborating organic cuvées, with no added sulphites, which simply exude the love and pride Fabien has for his wines and his terroir.
