Domaine Nowack "Autre Cru" Champagne NV

Importer's Notes

(2/2025) 50% Meunier, 50% Chardonnay. ‘S.A.’ stands for ‘Sans Année,’ or non-vintage. Base 2021, with 10% reserve wines blended in (vintages 2012 to 2020). The vineyards are selected to be a reflection of Flavien’s home village. Vinification is with both spontaneous yeasts as well as selected strains from the estate; all aging is done in oak barrels and vats. Dosage 1g/l. Medium weight, with lots of yellow fruit and a salty finish. Typically this cuvée is built closer to 75% Meunier, 25% Chardonnay, but 2021 was a very difficult Champagne vintage; in Flavien’s home vineyards of Bauchets and Tuileries there was a fair amount of loss from fungus pressure.
