Piot-Sévillano is in the hands of Christine and Vincent, who are the 10th generation of growers and 3rd generation to make wine on this family domaine.
Located in Vincelles, in the Marne Valley, Christine and Vincent have been running the estate since 2007 and in 2011 they implemented new agricultural techniques in order to preserve their soils and biodiversity: strong reduction of treatments, zero herbicide, using of organic fertilizers only, collecting of rainwater to use them, protection of biodiversity, groundwork by hand and horse, etc.
Across the three cuvées represented, Meunier is dominant and brings a wonderful savoury, animal character and ripens the fruit of these delicious Champagnes.
Vinification:
Manual harvest, whole-grape pressing in a 4,000 kg automatic press, fermentation of the cuvées in thermoregulated vats, cooling period, malolactic fermentation, 3 years of aging in the bottles on lees. Dosage 3.2 g/L. There are two solera, one in an oak cask (30hL), the other in an enamel vat (40hL) (both started in 2011). The blend is 80% enamel and 20% oak, to soften the woody flavours of the young oak cask.
Tasting:
Floral nose showing violet and rose petal, maple leaf and vanilla. A crisp core is balanced with baked pear and a persistent, clean and morish finish.
