Tasting Notes
From the 2015 vintage, this cuvee brings together Pinot Noir (70%) and Chardonnay (30%). The colour shows as a delicate yellow with glints of gold. The nose is expressive and generous, unfolding with blossoms, peony and a hint of Mirabelle plum. The palate opens broad and lively, marked by juicy white peach and a refreshing energy that carries through to a long, vibrant finish. - Aaron C
Elise Dechannes produces her Champagnes in Les Riceys, located in the southernmost part of the Aube region, renowned for its Pinot Noir still rosé called Rosé des Riceys. She follows organic practices and embraces biodynamic methods, with occasional exceptions such as certain years when she refrains from using copper or sulfur on the vines. Similar to the neighbouring Chablis appellation, the soil features consist of Kimmeridgian marl and clay soils.
Elise employs various vinification and aging techniques, including stainless steel, oak, sandstone, and clay amphoras. Most of her Champagnes are made without dosage. Her predominantly Pinot Noir-based wines offer a wide range of flavours from exceptionally ethereal and fruity to more savoury and indulgent.
