2018 Bourgeois-Diaz 'Les Justices' Pinot Meunier Brut Nature Champagne

Winemaker Notes:  Comes from the assembly of two horizontal sandstone eggs of 350 l, aged under cork, and tied after disgorging. The color is straw yellow, the nose is relatively evolved, reminiscent of the yellow wines of the Jura. On the palate, this oxidation perceived on the nose is found in a much more subtle way, bringing superb complexity to the wine, combined with great sapidity and finesse, leaving a very fresh and long finish. Champagne blend: 100% Pinot Meunier Bottles made: 986 bottles.

Of our 6,5 hectares of vineyard, 3,5 hectares are Pinot Meunier, 2 are Pinot Noir and 1 is Chardonnay. The vines are 40 years old and draw their vitality from a clay and limestone soil. Here, with hardwood forests on one side of the river Marne and languorous vines covering the hillsides on the other, is where champagne begins. It would have been easy for us to follow tradition. But for Jérôme Bourgeois, the easy life is not a life worth living. Born in 1977, Jérôme is the fourth generation of a champagne-growing family on his father’s side. And while tradition is in his blood, so is the urge to go beyond it. With Spanish ancestry on his mother’s side, Jérôme has always been compelled to pursue a different path to his contemporaries. Jérôme's wife, Charlotte, joined the business in 2016 and today plays a critical role overseeing the Champagne Bourgeois-Diaz brand while helping to make sure the champagnes taste the way they should.
