Champagne Domaine de Bichery La Source Brut Nature 2020
Côte des Bar, Champagne, FranceYoung couple Hannah and Raphael Piconnet took over his family's property in Neuville-sur-Seine, in the Côte des Bar, in 2015. The fruit all used to go to a Co.Op. They still sell some fruit, but of their own 10 organically farmed plots, they create single vintage brut nature cuvées, with no added SO2. La Source is equal parts pinot noir and chardonnay, and a blend from all their plots. It is fermented in a mix of 60/40 stainless / barrels, with full MLF, and goes to bottle without fining or filtration. The wine rested 2 years sur lattes, and was disgorged in April 2023. Light toast, red apple, and biscuit wraps around the creamy mousse, licked with anise. Nice development throughout, and quite pure.
