René Geoffroy Les Tiersaudes 2019 - Champagne Blanc de Noirs

Description

The Champagne René Geoffroy Les Tiersaudes 2019 beautifully expresses the identity of the Meunier grape variety on the Cumières terroir. The "Les Tiersaudes" plot, enriched with trees such as apple, mirabelle, maple, hornbeam and lime, aims to increase biodiversity and diversify mycorrhizae, thus promoting exchanges between soil and vine, while providing a habitat for inSectes, bees and birds in the vines. The vines, over 50 years old, are located in the village of Cumières, classified Premier Cru, on the southeast-facing plot known as "Les Tiersaudes". The soil is composed of fine silt, limestone and flint, at an altitude of 140 meters with a slope of 15%. The blend is 100% Meunier from 1972 massal selection, with a dosage of 0 g/L, characterizing a Brut nature. Vinification begins with hand-picking of the grapes at optimum ripeness, followed by sorting and traditional pressing with a Coquard press. Only the "Tête de Cuvée" juices are selected for parcel-by-parcel vinification by gravity. Fermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts, and the wine is aged on lees in demi-muid. The wines are neither filtered nor fined. After 60 months' cellar aging on laths, Les Tiersaudes 2019 is pale yellow with golden highlights. On the nose, it reveals a complexity combining notes of orange jam, juicy peach and fresh hazelnut, accompanied by spicy nuances. On the palate, aromas of ripe fruit and Secs are confirmed, supported by a fine mineral tension that balances the wine's richness. The texture is silky and powdery on the finish.
