The Pinot-Chevauchet ‘Trois Parcelles’ Pinot Noir Extra Brut is crafted entirely from Pinot Noir grown on three distinct plots in Pierry and Moussy—Longue-Fève, Pierrotte, and Marlaine—where the 45-year-old vines thrive in chalky clay and limestone soils. Though non-vintage, the wine is made exclusively from 2020 fruit, vinified in 600-liter used barrels from Meursault for 10 months, during which it is only topped up (no stirring) to preserve its focus and nuance. This extended time in the barrel adds remarkable depth, resulting in a neat golden-yellow hue. The nose opens with opal apples, red fruits, baked sweets, and an enticing subtle smoky reduction. On the palate, plums and red fruits lead the way, with the low dosage of 2 g/L allowing a beautifully balanced expression that is both fresh and complex. After 2.5 years on the lees and an additional 9 months in bottle before release, the wine offers a deeply ethereal and earthy finish, revealing both vibrancy and elegance, with a lingering minerality that invites another sip.
Trois Parcelles = Three Plots
this Champange comes from 3 old vineyards of only Pinot Noir, vinified in wood, and gives remarkably deep nuances
