Bourgeois-Diaz BD'3C Cuvée 3 Cépages

Champagnes Bourgeois-Diaz has been cultivating vines for four generations on the south-south-west facing hillsides of Crouttes sur Marne, Nanteuil sur Marne and Villiers Saint Denis: 3.5 hectares of Pinot Meunier, 2 hectares of Pinot Noir and 1.5 hectares of Chardonnay, making a total of 7 hectares.
The vines are cultivated with great care: pruning, systematic debudding, grassing, ploughing and organic fertilisation. The estate is currently being converted to organic farming.
The grapes are pressed in a traditional Coquard press and vinified in stainless steel vats or oak barrels. Optimum ripeness is always sought, with little or no chaptalisation. Malolactic fermentation takes place.
Translated with DeepL.com (free version)The Shaman 21 cuvée is a blend of 84% Pinot Noir and 16% Chardonnay from the Grands Crus terroirs of Ambonnay and Bouzy. The majority of the harvest is from the 2021 vintage, supplemented by reserve wines to ensure perfect balance.
The grapes are vinified and matured in oak barrels, a method that promotes micro-oxygenation and enriches the aromatic profile. True to his commitment, Benoît Marguet limits the use of sulphur to just 10 mg/l. The cuvée is not dosed, allowing the terroir to express itself fully and without artifice.
