Highlights
Elise Dechannes Coeur de Noirs Champ Méchain 2021
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 Elise Dechannes Coeur de Noirs "Champ Méchain" 2021 is a boutique grower Champagne made from 100% Pinot Noir grown in the Les Riceys village of the Aube region. It is highly regarded for its "coeur de cuvée" method, which uses only the highest-quality heart of the first pressing.
