Flavien Nowack began refocusing his family’s estate on single vintage, single parcel bottlings in 2011. Passionate that nothing should come between the purest expression of terroir, he farms organically, does not chaptalize and does not seek malo-lactic fermentation. He relies on the natural yeast of unfermented grape must as his prise de mousse for the secondary fermentation in bottle. As a result, these Champagnes are lower in pressure than is typical and underscores the vinous quality of these exceptionally soft and delicate wines. He does not chaptalize and does not seek malo-lactic fermentation. A young talent with a clear vision.

***

Organic. 100% Chardonnay. The only Blanc de Blancs at Nowack produced from a single-vineyard owned by the domaine. ‘La Tuilerie’ is on “whiter,” very sandy limestone soils over top of marne bedrock that’s only one meter below the surface. All fruit is from harvest 2019; dosage is .8 g/L. Flavien says that the Chardonnay in 2019 in particular was “perfect.” Vinification is with fully spontaneous/natural yeasts; the base wine is unfined and unfiltered. Aging is done in small oak barrels. An opulent palate, very pretty and compelling wine.
