The Making of Chardonnay de la Côte des Bar 2017 Louise Brison

The Chardonnay de la Côte des Bar 2017 Louise Brison is made from 100% chardonnay, sourced from the vineyards of Champagne Louise Brison located on the Côte des Bar. This terroir, situated in the south of Champagne, has clay-limestone soil and reaches an altitude of 320 meters. Its south/south-east exposure allows for optimal ripening of the grapes.

The 2017 vintage is characterized by a series of climatic challenges, with significant frosts in the spring, followed by intense heat from mid-May to July, and then hail in August. Despite these difficult conditions, the grapes achieved exceptional quality, resulting in a surprising and unique cuvée. This champagne is fermented and aged for 9 months in oak barrels, without malolactic fermentation, thus preserving all the freshness and vivacity of the chardonnay. The aging in the bottle then takes place in the cellars of the Louise Brison estate, allowing the wine to develop its complex aromas and elegant structure. The absence of dosage (0g/L) makes it a Brut Nature champagne, revealing the purity and minerality of the terroir.
