Champagne Delavenne Grand Cru Balbiacus Blanc de Noirs 2018

12.5% abv

Vol- 75cl

Made from 100% Pinot Noir from Bouzy, this beautiful Champagne is pale golden in the glass and has a toasty nose of brioche, red fruits and mineral undertones. The palate is rounded and soft from four years of bottle age and finishes with a wonderful freshness and vitality that simply begs for you to go back for another sip.

The 2018 Balbiacus Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru is a new release from Champagne Delavenne that immediately captured our attention when tasting their impeccable range. Bottled after four years on lees and with 4 g/l dosage.

For four generations the Delavenne family has been producing distinctive Champagne cuvées from their 9ha estate of Grand Cru vineyards in the villages of Bouzy, Cramant and Ambonnay. Low sulphur, no fining, no herbicides or chemical fertilisers and all hand-harvested grapes ensure every effort is made to retain the pure expression of the terroir. All fermentations take place in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks as it is felt that barrels would detract from the transparency of the terroir. None of the wines are put through malolactic fermentation, maintaining an exceptionally bright, fresh and clean, knife-edge acidity. All cuvées are aged a minimum of three years in bottle. Owner and winemaker Christophe is also a keen follower of Lithotherapy. This is a process where active and virtuous, stones and minerals are infused in pure water after a specific cleansing phase, using water and plants, to release their beneficial effects. Each stone is chosen for its inherent richness: amber, rock crystal, moss agate, tourmaline, and green calcite properties. The resulting 'gem water' is then sprayed as a treatment onto different vineyards that are atuned to the specific waters. Whether for support or prevention, it is believed that lithotherapy offers an open and natural path to more vibrant soils, healthier vines and brighter wines. An inspired and enlightening reconciliation of man and nature.
