Crafted from equal parts Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay and aged underwater during the summer of 2022, the 2018 Abyss reveals aromas of maritime notes, white fruits, spices, smoke and herbs. Medium to full-bodied, tense and ethereal, it’s perfectly balanced with a pinpoint mousse and a lovely gastronomic bitterness. Disgorged with one gram per liter dosage.

Varietal

Champagne Blend

The sparkling wines of Champagne have been revered by wine drinkers for hundreds of years, and even today they maintain their reputation for excellence of flavor and character, and are consistently associated with quality, decadence, and a cause for celebration. Their unique characteristics are partly due to the careful blending of a small number of selected grape varietals, most commonly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. These grapes, blended in fairly equal quantities, give the wines of Champagne their wonderful flavors and aromas, with the Pinot Noir offering length and backbone, and the Chardonnay varietal giving its acidity and dry, biscuity nature. It isn't unusual to sometimes see Champagne labeled as 'blanc de blanc', meaning it is made using only Chardonnay varietal grapes, or 'blanc de noir', which is made solely with Pinot Noir.

Region

Champagne

The beautiful rolling hillsides of the Champagne region of France have, for hundreds of years, been producing many of the world's most famous wines. The sparkling white wines to come out of Champagne's prestigious wineries have conquered the world, and are drank in celebration across the globe. The vast majority of the region is under vine, and grows predominantly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grape varietals, which are usually blended together by master wine-makers in order to make their recognizable and widely loved produce. The north-easterly region of Champagne has a relatively cool climate, and quite a lot of rainfall, making it far from ideal for ripening grapes. However, the presence of heavily forested areas in the region helps maintain a balanced temperature, and the generations of expertise the wineries hold clearly produces excellent results in spite of the climatic problems.

A soft and relaxed expression showing beautiful notes of candied pear, red apple skin, smoked nuts, toffee and cooked lemons, with a lightly bitter, saline finish. The mousse is exceptionally soft, almost not there, giving the impression of a still wine on the finish. Aged in bottle at a depth 60m under the sea, off the coast of Brittany, for one year.

The 2018 Brut Zéro Abyss, made from one third each of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay was disgorged in June, 2022 and submerged off the coast of Britanny for ten months of post-disgorgement ageing under the sea at 60 meters. The nose opens gently with a hint of ume plum and slight smokiness, followed by juicy yellow apple. The mousse is gentle, the body smooth and rounded with the ripe mellowness of 2018. A gentle phenolic edge holds pepper against rye bread crust, generous and fresh for 2018. Zero dosage. Disgorged: October, 2021.
