Guillaume Sergent NV 'Les Prés Dieu' Blanc de Blancs 1er Cru Extra Brut, Champagne, France

July 2020 disgorgement, entirely from 2018.

In 2008, Guillaume Sergent started his micro-domaine with a tiny parcel of his family’s vineyards. Along with his formal education in enology, he earned a degree in geology, making time spent with him a treat filled with in-depth details of the natural history of his vineyards and the
surrounding area.

Winemaker: Guillaume Sergent

Farming: Organic

Varieties: Chardonnay (100% Blanc de Blancs)

Terroir: Located on the Montagne des Reims, Guillaume’s minuscule 1.25 acres of vineyards are entirely committed to organic culture and plowed by horse. From two vineyard plots on light sand and chalky soil. Both plots are within the advantageous middle of their respective hills, which brings balance to the body of wines; Les Prés
faces northeast and Les Vignes Dieu, south

Vinification: Simple, straightforward, low-tech winemaking. All the wines are all aged in old François Frères French oak barrels and finished with a small dosage—rarely more than 1g/L—and minimal amounts of sulfur (45mg/L, or 45ppm), with no induced stabilization, fining or filtration.
