The Making of the Clos Cazals 2014 Champagne in Magnum

The Clos Cazals 2014 comes from an exceptional vineyard, located in the village of Oger, in the heart of the prestigious Côte des Blancs. This historic clos is one of the 21 officially recognized clos in Champagne. The grapes from these parcels benefit from a unique microclimate thanks to the walls of the clos, which reflect the heat of the sun, offering optimal ripening of the grapes. Only the part planted in 1957 of Clos Cazals, with a total area of 3.7 hectares, is used to make this cuvée, giving this champagne a rare authenticity and exclusivity.

The terroir of Oger, classified as Grand Cru, is known for its richness in chalk, giving the grapes a vivacity and mineral character. The wines of this terroir often require aging for several years to reveal all their complexity. The year 2014 was marked by a rainy autumn and a mild winter, followed by a contrasting climate throughout the year. These conditions gave rise to grapes of exceptional quality, marked by a beautiful acidity and a rich aromatic palette. The 2014 vintage is thus distinguished by a perfect balance and a rich aromatic palette.

The vinification of the Clos Cazals 2014 in magnum is carried out in stainless steel tanks to preserve the freshness of the wine, while 20% of the blend is aged in oak barrels to add structure and complexity. The dosage is in Extra-Brut, allowing the purity of the terroir to express itself. This meticulous work reveals the finesse and elegance of this exceptional champagne.
