Description: | In the vineyards, Alexandre does not follow any certifications; his goal is to respect the soil populations as much as I can. His work is followed by Claude and Lydia Bourguignon, the two foremost experts on soil microbiology. I do not use chemicals, herbicides, insecticides and plough half of my vineyards with my horses. Most of the work is made by hand, but no certification. Sheep and Chickens are used for fertilization and focus is put on the health of the soil as Chartogne believes that the transmission of terroir comes only though careful work in the vineyard. Horses are kept on the property and used for ploughing and a majority of the work in the vineyard is made by hand. From a sandy, south-facing site planted in 1981, this 100-percent Chardonnay Champagne was fermented using wild yeasts in a mix of concrete eggs and used (3-8 years old) Burgundy barrels from Anne Gross from Anne Gros. This Blanc de Blancs was aged for more than four years sur latte and was disgorged in March 2017 with a dosage of 5 grams per liter. Just 3500 bottles were produced. |
