Les Monts de la Vallée Blanc de Noirs Brut Antoine Bouvet 2022

This Blanc de Noirs Champagne made exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes, is produced by the head of this family estate who also gave his name to the property. The massale-selected vines that are around 40 years old flourish in the temperate-oceanic climate with continental influence. They have been encouraged to draw all the necessary nutrients needed for their development from deep within the marl and limestone soils to the east of the Marne valley, using environmentally friendly farming methods that are based on the principles of organic and biodynamic agriculture. Low-intervention vinification is used in the cellar, typically meaning that indigenous yeasts start the fermentation process with a modest amount of sulphur added to the resulting wine. Although not marketed as a vintage Champagne, all the grapes that go into the blend have come from the same year.
Tasting this Champagne reveals a deep and energetic wine. Its constant flow of fine bubbles releases intense aromas of white fruits, yellow fruits and small red berries.
