Terre d'Abbaye
BLANC DE BLANCS
VINIFIED AND AGED IN OAK BARRELS
EXTRA BRUT
The Terre d'Abbaye Champagne, entirely vinified and aged in 300 liter French oak barrels, pays homage to the Royal Abbey of Saint-Pierre-les-Dames in Reims, which supported the winegrowing terroir of Nogent l'Abbesse.
This Champagne Blanc de blancs is made from Chardonnays from the 2021 harvest of the Les Ecus parcel (Nogent l'Abbesse). The Cuvée juices are transferred to barrels the day after pressing. After spontaneous fermentation, the wines remain on their lees until bottling, which takes place in the spring.
Wines vinified in oak barrels benefit from light and constant micro-oxygenation, giving them aromatic complexity and roundness.

TASTING NOTES
The color is a bright, luminous golden yellow with green highlights.
The nose combines finesse and intensity, starting with white flowers, then pear, peach and lemon zest. On aeration, the first notes of fresh almonds and sweet spices emerge.
The explosion on the palate is pure, combining freshness and power, incorporating citrus and orchard fruit aromas. The texture is enveloping. This is a lively, chiseled champagne, with a pleasant floral and woody character. The finish is persistent and saline.
