Tasting Notes
Crafted entirely from Pinot Noir, this Champagne shows a pale golden hue. The bouquet is lifted and delicate, carrying notes of blossom and a twist of citrus. The palate feels supple and silky, where ripe fruit tones meet a clear mineral edge, leaving an impression of refinement and poise. - Pete L
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.
