Noël and Magali Bazin, proprietors of a boutique estate in Villers-Marmery within the Montagne de Reims, have been crafting exceptional Champagnes since their inaugural vintage in 1999. Specializing in Chardonnay from Premier Cru vineyards, their 'L'Unanime' cuvée exemplifies their dedication to quality and terroir expression.
- WINEMAKERS: Noël and Magali Bazin
- FARMING: Practicing organic methods
- VARIETY: 100% Chardonnay
- TERROIR: Sourced from up to 50-year-old vines in the Premier Cru village of Villers-Marmery, situated in the Montagne de Reims. The southeast-facing vineyards are planted on limestone soils, contributing to the wine's minerality and elegance.
- VINIFICATION: The cuvée is an assemblage of 70% base vintage (2022) and 30% solera reserve wines, with 10% of the reserve aged in oak barrels. Fermentation occurs with indigenous yeasts, and the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation to enhance its creamy texture.
- AGING: Aged on lees for an extended period to develop complexity, followed by bottling with a dosage that classifies it as Brut.
- TASTING NOTES: Pale gold in color with fine, persistent bubbles. Aromas of tart green apples, pastry dough, marzipan, and chalk lead to a creamy and refreshing palate. Flavors of stewed apples, nuts, and marzipan are complemented by a slight oxidative note and stern chalky minerality, culminating in a persistent, food-friendly finish.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: Versatile and suitable for various occasions, it pairs well with spiced meats, Asian cuisine, ripe soft cheeses, and is delightful as an aperitif.
