Highlights
Dechannes Chardonnay Brut Nature Champagne 2019
Elise Dechannes Champagnes are farmed in Les Riceys, in the southernmost part of the Aube, known for their Pinot Noir still rosé, Rosé des Riceys AOC. She uses organic (certified in 2018) and biodynamic practices, aside from a few exceptions—some years she doesn’t apply any copper or sulfur to the vines. Like the neighboring Chablis appellation, Kimmeridgian marl and clay are the dominant bedrock and soil compositions. Vinifications and aging are in stainless steel, oak, sandstone and clay amphoras. Most Champagnes are without dosage. The results with the mostly Pinot Noir-based wines are diverse and fun—anywhere from extremely ethereal and fruity, to more savory and gourmand.
The 2019 Elise Dechannes Chardonnay Brut Nature is a precise, zero-dosage Champagne from Les Riceys, Aube, highlighting Kimmeridgian limestone minerality. It is farmed biodynamically, producing a vinous, high-tension, and tart style with green apple, pear, and citrus notes. This grower Champagne is typically aged in stainless steel or oak, offering a pure, structured expression requiring time to open.
