Augustin

Cuvée 116 - Blanc de Noirs | Bottle 75cl

Description

Marc Augustin's Cuvée CXVI is a sulphur-free Blanc de Noirs champagne, perfectly combining the 4 elements highlighted by the House, in a Pinot Noir version. This cuvée takes its name from the number 16 in the periodic table of elements, referring to sulfur: 116 for sans (hundred) sulfur.

The world of Maison Augustin cuvées was inspired by biodynamic viticulture and inspired by Marc's wife, Emmanuelle. The identity, the names, the colors, the materials: everything is done in coherence with the Maison's philosophy.

This cuvée is made exclusively from Pinot Noir from Avenay Val d'Or, a Premier Cru terroir on the Montagne de Reims, characterized by its clay-loam soils.

Both viticulture and vinification are carried out according to biodynamic principles, in harmony with the phases of the moon, and the wines are the product of controlled dynamization. As with other Domaine cuvées, the wine is not dosed, and the yeast is extracted from the previous year's lees, without filtration.

This Cuvée CXVI Blanc de Noirs is true, pure and full of aromas, with toasty notes of gingerbread and brioche, punctuated by hints of licorice.

The palate is saline and fresh, very fleshy, salivating and characterized by a lovely tension that brings character to the wine.
