guyot and cordon de royat pruning

the villages are caught between hills and valleys and the plots of vines are interspersed with wild forest

The vineyards are predominantly Nerello Mascalese

The wine then gets pressed

where Pinot grigio is fermented on the skins as one would make a red wine and results in a lightly colored wine which will become more copper hued as it ages

Jacques Lassaigne Sauvage Brut Nature, Champagne, France Leon Boesch guyot and cordon de royatEmmanuel Lassaigne draws on chalk rich parcels in MontgueuxChardonnay from Le Cotet and Pinot Noir from Marivatto craft this Brut Nature. Chardonnay is foot tread, Pinot Noir sees a short maceration, and fermentations are spontaneous, with levage in older barrels and minimal sulfur; bottling is unfined and unfiltered. The result is a precise, chalk driven Champagne with citrus lift, a subtle red fruited savor, and a dry, saline finish. 1 btl per
