Champagne Brut Nature
Le Nombre d'Or Sablè 2020

The Champagne "Le Nombre d'Or Sablé" by Aubry is a Blanc des Blancs that tells the story of the Montagne de Reims through an unusual and fascinating lens, that of the cépages oubliés, the ancient varieties that modern Champagne has almost entirely forgotten. From the Premier Cru terroirs of Villedommange, Pargny-lès-Reims, Jouy-lès-Reims and Coulommes-la-Montagne, brothers Pierre and Philippe Aubry have cultivated these rare varieties for decades with a philosophy that places biodiversity and territorial identity at the heart of every choice, turning each bottle into an authentic document of wine history.

This edition, Vintage 2020, is born from the meeting of four white varieties, with a prevalence of Chardonnay at 40%, alongside Arbane and Petit Meslier in equal parts at 25% each and a final contribution of 10% Pinot Blanc, all sourced from the four Premier Cru villages. Each variety ferments separately in stainless steel, preserving its own aromatic identity, with malolactic fermentation actively sought to soften the natural acidity of the blend. The petite mousse technique — a second fermentation at low pressure of 4 bar instead of the usual 6 — delivers a softer and creamier bubble, the most distinctive trait of sablé Champagnes. After the tirage, the wine ages on the lees for at least 36 months and is then released with no final dosage, in Brut Nature style.

In the glass, it shows a bright straw yellow hue with a fine and creamy mousse, lighter than usual thanks to the reduced tirage pressure. On the nose, white flowers, bergamot and ginger emerge alongside a honeyed note that adds depth without weighing things down. On the palate, freshness is the guiding thread, lively and well integrated into a smooth texture, where the four varieties express themselves in harmony leaving a sensation of purity and naturalness that carries through a long and savoury finish. Production in a limited run of bottles.
