J.M. Goulard Champagne “Special Club” Brut 2017

Viticulture: Organic

Soil type: Clay, Sand and Chalk


Grapes: 40% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Meunier

Winemaking: After pressing, it takes 12 hours to decant the juice. It is then moved to a large stainless tank for fermentation. Damien keeps cuvees from different villages separate, except for their Chardonnay, which is all fermented together, because they dont have many white grapes. After alcoholic fermentation, Goulard warms the tanks to initiate malolactic fermentation. After bottling, the winery ages their Champagnes for 2-5 years before release.
