Charles Dufour Francoise Martinot Champagne Extra Brut Blanc de Noirs Bistrotage B.20

$8199

Champagne Françoise Martinot, made by Charles Dufour from his mother's organic vineyards in Landreville, offers a distinctive take on Blanc de Noirs. This Extra Brut cuvée, with less than 2g/L dosage and no sulfur added, features 100% Pinot Noir from the chalky Vallée de l'Arce. The result is creamy yet electric, with green apple precision, citrus zest, and a distinctive salinity balanced by hints of butterscotch.

More about Charles Dufour Francoise Martinot

Antoine Chevalier is farming 2.5 hectares of the 60 hectares in total planted in the tiny village of Vitry-en-Perthois. He is the only grower in the village to vinify and bottle his own wine. Here Chardonnay is king and the soils are pure Turonian chalk.

Antoine’s family’s story begins in 1925 when his great grandfather, Guy, a farmer by trade, bought land here and first planted vines. For years, the Chevaliers sold fruit to the grand marques and eventually to the local co-op which they were instrumental in helping to establish.

Despite Coteaux Vitryats’ reputation for producing high quality Chardonnay, there was little to no history or tradition of estate bottling. In 2014, after working in wine regions around the world, Antoine along with his partner Aurore, returned to Vitry-en-Perthois to take over his tiny parcel of family vines with a drive to make wines that would, for the first time, let these unique terroirs speak for themselves.

Antoine immediately converted to organic viticulture with a special focus on cover crop and soil health. He tools around the vineyards in a restored vintage Volkswagen bus. Harvest is performed by hand, whole clusters are pressed in a vertical basket press and allowed to ferment naturally. The wines are vinified and aged in a combination of sandstone globes and 225L used oak barrels. Vin clair is aged for 10 months before bottling and the wines age for 36 months sur-lattes before disgorgement. Dosage is kept to a bare minimum if used at all.
