Flavien Nowack, the young but very well-regarded vintner in Vandières, releases some of the most moving Blanc de Noirs we know, being from a special pocket of the Vallée de la Marne where red fruit can reach striking heights for sparkling wines. Having released his first wines in 2015, Nowack's process-intensive wines demand aging, ideally five to seven years post-disgorgement, following five years on lees in the bottle. Nowack's 100% Pinot Noir sparkling hails from the estate's single-vineyard 'Les Bauchets,' old vines planted on sandy limestone over marne bedrock at 100m altitude, all from the 2018 harvest. Using natural yeasts, the base wine remains unfined and unfiltered, aging gracefully in small oak barrels. We're thrilled to offer a little representation of Nowack's excellent single-vineyard bottlings this year.
