Alcohol: 12.5%
Grape(s): 70% Chardonnay / 30% Pinot Noir
Localization: Jura, France
Tasting Notes: Plenty of ripe fruit keeps this zero dosage of Crémant from being overly austere. Champ Divin's farmer fizz gets all of the first pass (early picked) fruit, and then only free run juice.
Notes: 9 months ageing before being disgorged. Zero dosage.
The Domain: Fabrice and Valerie Closset-Gaziaux both have educational backgrounds in agronomy and earth sciences. After spending extensive time developing sustainable farming practices in Africa and then helping growers in the Loire develop organic and naturally balanced vineyards for 8 years, they decided (in 2008) to procure vineyards in South-Revermont, in the “premier plateau” of Jura.
Fabrice and Valerie acquired 5 hectares of land on which they grow Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Savagnin and employ biodynamic farming practices. They emphasize patience and observance as two necessary principles for understanding their locale, and learning from their sites to better accommodate a balance in the vineyard.
