Blanc de Meunier Brut Nature Chavost

The wine

A historic heartland of sparkling wine, Champagne is also home to wine growers committed to a natural approach. This wine is sourced from clay-limestone and loamy slopes overlooking the Marne, a terroir that lends freshness, minerality and real depth of flavour to Pinot Meunier. The grapes are hand-harvested at peak ripeness and carefully sorted. In the winery, gentle pressing precedes spontaneous fermentation. The estate follows a low-intervention philosophy, working without chaptalisation, enzymes or routine sulphur additions. The second fermentation takes place in bottle, followed by ageing on laths.
In the glass, the pale gold hue shows subtle golden glints. The bouquet offers complex fruit notes of green apple, pear and white flowers lifted by a hint of brioche. On the palate, a lively attack and fine bead reveal ripe fruit and flow into a saline, moreish finish.

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.
