A Chardonnay sourced from lieu-dit Derrière Travent. Located in Vavray Le Grand in the Côteaux de Champagne, this parcel has hard limestone soils from Secondary era. This first Chardonnay was actually vinified in smaller 350-liter barrels, rather than the demi-muids that have been used for all three of the champagnes in this series since 2013. The Chardonnay cuvée was not made in 2011 or 2012 as the brothers did not consider the quality or quantity to be sufficient for a separate bottling. In 2013 (the first year that all three 4 V cuvées were first made) the brothers changed the origin for their Chardonnay as they consider Blanches Voies to make wine with a stronger, more distinctive personality.
Champagne of gastronomy par excellence, we only make this cuvée in years that we consider exceptional. Produced in small quantities, Terre Natale is the expression of the only Village of Ludes, from 3 plots of old vines planted in mass selections. This champagne wine is intense, mature and powerful and will be an ideal companion at table with white meats or even a plate of cheese. This Champagne Wine is always aged at least 10 years in our cellars.
