Brut Nature 2006
« The Brut Nature is simply the consequence of the exceptional substance of
the wine, of this creamy, coated, velvety note, which requires no dosage.
And which reveals the wine in all its purity. »
An encounter
« The Brut Nature 2006 cuvée is the fruit of several convergences: between
a historic terroir and a remarkable year, and between a Champagne House
that respects nature and a creative genius with a free spirit. »
An encounter
The collaboration between Frédéric Rouzaud and Philippe Starck encouraged us to be innovative, stimulating our creativity to such an extent that we pushed the whole process even further: the wine was developed through discussions, words that conjure up images, ideas, concepts … in a quest for the ideal champagne!
Authenticity
‘Authenticity and Truth’ are emphasised by the distinctiveness of a producer’s wine, resulting in an unusual and summery vintage, from a unique soil - clay and stony - characterised by optimal maturity.
A unique champagne
« I believe that with any project embarked upon, it is key to get to the heart
of the matter, rather than skirt round the edges. »
Abstraction
‘Abstraction’ is a difficult notion to translate into technical reality, but we aim to refine and simplify our processes in various ways: harvesting the estate’s vineyards on the same day; blending all the grapes directly on the press; removing minimal sludge and encouraging spontaneous fermentation; avoiding chaptalization; ensuring that 100% of the fermentation process occurs in wooden tanks; allowing the wines to age over a long period, without racking (soutirage), and ensuring they are produced in accordance with biodynamic rhythms.
elegance
‘Elegance’ is reflected in the quest for optimal purity through a balanced proportion of around 2/3 Pinot noir and 1/3 Chardonnay, an absence of malolactic fermentation, a soft and sensual effervescence, and no dosage.
