The Making of the Clos Cazals 2014 Champagne

The Clos Cazals 2014 champagne comes from an exceptional vineyard, a historic clos located in the village of Oger, in the heart of the Côte des Blancs. Clos Cazals is one of the 21 officially recognized clos in Champagne. Champagnes made from vines planted within a clos are highly sought after because the clos offers the grapes exceptional ripening thanks to the reflection of the walls that return the heat of the sun.

Clos Cazals has an area of 3.7 hectares, but only the part planted in 1957 is used for the making of this cuvée. The terroir of Oger has the particularity of being very chalky and giving grapes with frank vivacity, and wines that often need to be aged for a few years for their vigor to soften and give their best. Oger is classified as Grand Cru, the highest level of the Champagne appellation. Only 17 villages are classified as Grand Cru.

The year 2014 was marked by a very rainy autumn and a very mild winter. The rest of the year was contrasting, with abrupt weather changes, to finally produce grapes of excellent quality. The 2014 vintage is distinguished by a beautiful acidity, a perfect balance, and a complex aromatic palette.

The vinification of Clos Cazals was carried out in stainless steel tanks and 20% in oak barrels, which gives the wine a unique structure. As for the dosage, it is in Extra-Brut, thus revealing the purity and the expression of the terroir.
