Creation of the Extra-Brut cuvée.

Marie-Noëlle launch the tasting.

The creation of a new cuvée is a very important moment in the life of a winemaker. But before that, he need to answer to a question :

Why ? 

Why propose a new cuvée when the range is already 8? Champagne Henriet Bazin leaves terroir or vintages to express themselves in authentiques cuvées. But for the most discerning oenophiles and especially our pleasure of vinificateur we wanted to create an Extra-Brut to exacerbate the qualities of our terroir.

6 blends and 4 dosage per blends.

 But, to create an Extra-Brut, there were not enough, in our eyes, juts to reduce the dosage of one of our existing cuvée. Not!
As all of our range, this cuvée was required to be unique, singular, with its own personality. Should therefore think the dosage as a whole. Would it be in a mono cepage, a vintage, a mono-cru... Before these questions, a tasting was required.

The selection took place on January 10, 2012. We invited a group of 7 friends, some growers of other winemakers, merchants, chefs, oenologists, cooker and sometimes a bit both. The objective was therefore to select the best dosage for each blends. Then, a second tasting was to elect the best cuvée among the nominated 6.

It is made !...

Whe found the one !
