How we make Champagne Voie d'Oger 2016

Champagne Voie d'Oger 2016 is made from grapes grown in the eponymous lieu-dit on the Grand Cru terroir ofAvize. Vinification takes place in stainless-steel vats to preserve all the freshness and varietal expression of the grape variety. The wine then rests for over 5 years on lees to develop its depth and complexity.

The cuvée was disgorged in July 2023 and given a low dosage of Extra Brut (1.2 g/l), in a refined style that highlights the authenticity of the terroir and the energy of the Chardonnay.

The 2016 vintage

Despite a climate marked by contrasts, 2016 in Champagne produced wines of great precision. In Avize, the Chardonnays took advantage of the sunny end of the season to reach excellent ripeness, while retaining their characteristic vivacity. As a result, this vintage reveals all the tension and salinity typical of the greatest terroirs of the Côte des Blancs.
