NV Yann Alexandre Brut Noir, Champagne – buy online
65.00€
In appearance golden yellow and radiant. On the nose enticing scents of apple, pear, and citrus, delicately mentholated, signatures of the exclusive Chardonnay grape, hand-harvested in 2017 from the parcels “Les Carreaux,” “Les Grèves,” and “Les Leusonnes” in Courmas. On the palate sensual and creamy balance, supported by a subtle woodiness obtained through the fermentation of the base wines in barrels, culminating in 4 years of maturation on laths in bottles.

WHO?
Yann Alexandre is the eighth generation of his family to grow vines in the Petite Montagne de Reims, the third to make Champagne there. He and his wife, Séverine, share a passion for horticulture that directly informs their viticulture. Their moto is to grow the vineyard like a garden..
WHERE?
In Courmas, 180-inhabitant village, 10 km (6 miles) southwest from Reims ,Yann has 14 parcels, predominantly planted to meunier. Courmas takes its place within the Montagne de Reims, a sweep of low plateau. It belongs to the Petite Montagne, separated from the Grand Montagne by a main north-south road, the name a reference to the rather lower elevation of the vineyards here. The Alexandre vineyards span 6.3 hectares of parcels with varying soil compositions all carefully matched to their varieties: 55% meunier, 30% chardonnay, 15% pinot noir. The primarily southwest-facing hillside sites encompass yellow tuffe, white marl, calcareous clay, white stone (“pierreux”) with flint.
WHY?
With this Courmas 2017 Blanc de Blancs cuvée, Yann Alexandre, winemaker, offers us an original interpretation of the Courmas terroir in the Ardre valley.
