Bourgeois-Diaz Trois Cépages 3C Extra Brut

Este Champagne Extra Brut procede de la bodega Bourgeois-Diaz, ubicada en Crouttes-sur-Marne. Se trata de una cuvée de corte elaborada con una mezcla de tres cepas: 40% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir y 25% Pinot Meunier. Las uvas provienen de una viña de 7 hectáreas con cepas de aproximadamente 35 años de edad, plantadas en un suelo de naturaleza limo-arcillosa.

El proceso de elaboración combina técnicas tradicionales con un enfoque naturalista. La fermentación primaria se realiza utilizando levaduras autóctonas; un tercio del mosto se fermenta en barricas de roble y los dos tercios restantes en depósitos de acero inoxidable. Tras la primera fermentación, se realiza la segunda fermentación directamente en la botella. La crianza sobre lías es prolongada, cumpliendo un mínimo de 27 meses antes del degüelle para definir el carácter del vino.

En lo referente a su valoración por críticos, el vino ha obtenido 89 puntos en la guía de Robert Parker y 92 puntos en la de James Suckling. La denominación de origen es Champagne, bajo la regulación AOP de Francia. Se presenta como un espumoso blanco de la región de Champagne, elaborado con una mezcla equilibrada de uvas blancas y tintas.

Learn more about Bourgeois-Diaz

The house is in Crouttes-sur-Marne, in the Marne valley west of Épernay. That strip is meunier country: the variety dominates plantings on clay, marl and sandy soils, buds later than pinot noir and ripens earlier.

Jérôme Bourgeois took over from his parents in 2001 and works with Charlotte. Six point eight hectares: three and a half of meunier, two of pinot noir and one point three of chardonnay. The vines average about forty years, on clay and chalk.

That is where their defining decision lies. Meunier takes up more than half their vineyard, when across Champagne as a whole it is around 32%, against 38% pinot noir and 30% chardonnay. And the trade has always treated it as the cheap variety, the one blended in to bring a cuvée's cost down alongside the other two. Giving it most of the estate runs against the appellation's own price hierarchy.

Since 2009 they have used no pesticides and since 2014 they have held organic and Demeter biodynamic certification. In the cellar, spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeast, minimal sulphur or none, and wines neither fined nor filtered.

Their three-variety cuvée brings together all three grapes of the house.
