Chavost "Blanc d'Assemblage" Brut Nature Champagne

"Blanc D’Assemblage" is made from 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Meunier, undergoes spontaneous alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in stainless steel without the use of commercial yeasts, enzymes or any other additives, and is bottled with no fining, filtering or dosage. The result is a vinous, bone-dry Champagne with medium plus body, chalky minerality with notes of green apple, a little red cherry and a touch of caramel. Rich, powerful and vinous with notes of red fruits.

Champagne Chavost is a small cooperative winery in the commune of Chavot-Courcourt in Vallée de la Marne that has been led by young winemaker Fabian Daviaux since 2019. The original co-op began in 1946 with around 20 growers and today has over 100 multi-generational growers.

Since Fabian has been in charge, he has convinced all of the members to take their entire 5.5 hectares of organically farmed vines and create a range of wines made without any additives or sulfites. This bold decision on his part has been a great success. All the wines are not acidified, deacidified or chaptalized, and they do not receive dosage or added sulfites. They go through alcoholic and malolactic fermentation without the use of commercial yeasts or enzymes. It is simply the juice used in production.
