Augustin

Cuvée Terre | Bottle 75cl

Description

Marc Augustin's Cuvée Terre is a champagne which, like the element, embodies minerality and structure. This earth represents the maternal element, solid and stable. This Blanc de Noirs possesses an unusual degree of expression and individuality.

The world of Maison Augustin cuvées was inspired by biodynamic viticulture and breathed life into 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 from Pinot Noir vines aged between 25 and 35 years, located in 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. Like the Domaine's other cuvées, the wine is not dosed, and the yeast is extracted from the previous year's lees, without filtration.

Cuvée Terre is a powerful, elegant, vegetal champagne with a delicate bouquet, fine bubbles and a smooth, velvety finish.

On the palate, it has lively acidity, fine minerality and notes of citrus fruit, caramel, dried figs and a hint of coconut. It's a fruity champagne, with a lovely bitterness and tension on the finish.
