ABOUT THIS WINE
Champagne Chavost's Blanc Assemblage Brut Nature is a non-vintage sparkling white wine from the Champagne AOC in France, specifically from the Coteaux Sud d'Epernay sub-region. The wine is notable for its production with no added sulfites and its Brut Nature classification, indicating zero dosage. The producer, Champagne Chavost, is a historic cooperative founded in 1946, currently led by chef de caves Fabian Daviaux, who is guiding the estate towards a philosophy of natural winemaking and purity. The grapes are sourced from their own vineyards, which are in the process of organic conversion. This Champagne represents a modern approach to winemaking within a traditional region.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Blanc Assemblage Brut Nature is vinified in 100% thermo-regulated stainless steel vats. A defining characteristic is the complete absence of added sulfites. Alcoholic fermentation is spontaneous, driven by indigenous yeasts at 17°C, followed by spontaneous malolactic fermentation with indigenous bacteria at 20°C. No enzymes, settling agents, chaptalization, acidification, or deacidification are used. The wine is neither fined nor filtered before bottling. It undergoes aging for at least 20 months in the bottle, and as a Brut Nature, it has a dosage of 0 g/L of added sugar.
