Delouvin Nowack Champagne Fauve Brut Nature 2019

Delouvin Nowack Champagne Fauve Brut Nature 2019 is a precise, terroir-driven Champagne made from Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. Crafted according to the traditional method and finished with zero dosage, it offers an especially pure expression of the fruit, chalk-rich soils and the cool, mineral character of Vandières in the Vallée de la Marne.

Tasting Notes
Pale and luminous in the glass, with a fine, persistent mousse. The nose opens with bright aromas of yuzu, fresh apple and citrus, followed by delicate notes of pastry and brioche from its extended ageing on the lees. On the palate, it is linear and finely etched, combining crisp fruit with a lively saline tension and pronounced chalky minerality. The Brut Nature style leaves the finish exceptionally dry, focused and refreshingly long. With its structure and extended lees ageing, the wine can develop beautifully over the next 5–10 years when stored well.

Production
The grapes come from organically and sustainably farmed vineyards in Vandières, where south-facing parcels benefit from excellent exposure. The vines are rooted in soils marked by exposed chalk, a defining feature that contributes to the Champagne’s mineral, saline character. The cuvée is produced using the traditional method and spends at least 72 months ageing on its lees, allowing the Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier to develop greater texture and aromatic complexity. No dosage is added, preserving the wine’s natural freshness and tension.

Food & Serving
Its dry, mineral profile makes Fauve Brut Nature an excellent partner for oysters, sushi, sashimi and other delicate seafood. It also works well with fresh shellfish, ceviche, grilled fish and lightly seasoned goat’s cheese. Serve well chilled at around 8–10°C. Decanting is not necessary, although allowing the Champagne a few minutes in the glass can reveal additional pastry and mineral nuances.

Producer
Delouvin Nowack is an independent grower-producer based in Vandières, in the heart of the Vallée de la Marne. The family estate takes a hands-on approach to every stage of production, with a focus on expressing the character of its vineyards through organic and sustainable farming. This cuvée reflects the estate’s distinctive combination of chalk-rich terroir, extended lees ageing and minimal intervention, resulting in an authentic and highly transparent grower Champagne.
