bourgeois diaz le temple blanc de blancs nv

"since the philosopher and scientist dr. rudolf steiner gave his lectures to farmers in 1924, science has gone on to recognize the existence of the spirit in nature. in viticulture, biodynamics is common on many farms, although there are still pioneers who have been practicing the principles of biodynamics for a long time. this is the case of jerome bougeois-díaz, a fourth generation winemaker located in the crouttes-sur-marne region halfway between paris and reims (aoc champagne), who cultivates its 7 hectares of vineyards as if it were a garden, using elements provided by nature to create wines that thanks to this dedication, the result is really worth it. sparkling wines like this bourgeois-diaz white temple of whites testify to this. a cuvée of chardonnay from a single plot ""the temple"", so called for its exceptional location and maintained as if it were a real temple. located in nanteuil sur marne, its soils are composed of clay, silt and clay and are bordered by the calm waters of the marne. their strains are on average 35 years old, which have been grown without pesticides since 2009, and organically and biodynamically certified since 2014. once they have reached their optimal ripening moment, the grapes are selected from the vineyard. in the cellar, the grapes are vinified, 66% in stainless steel and 33% in oak barrels, with indigenous yeasts. then, a second fermentation in bottle, in champagne style, is carried out with an aging of 24 to 30 months. bourgeois-diaz the temple blanc de blancs is a profiled sparkling wine with a citrus nose, floral and with touches of brioche and sweet spices. in the mouth, it is lively, clean and thin. a champagne with a fine and persistent pearl, a not tasty and delicate and an excellent minerality."
