Champagne Elise Dechannes
Essentielle Magnum
The Champagne Essentielle by Elise Dechannes is a Blanc de Noirs born entirely from Pinot Noir grapes in the village of Les Riceys, at the southern tip of the Côte des Bar, in the Aube department. On these Kimmeridgian soils, rich in limestone and tiny marine fossils, the vine finds its most authentic expression, while the philosophy of the vigneronne, devoted to organic farming and biodynamic principles, celebrates respect for the fruit and the pursuit of an essential purity, able to translate the character of the terroir with great clarity.
This edition, from the 2021 harvest, interprets a single vintage shaped by a cool and challenging growing season, with low yields that delivered grapes of great tension and aromatic definition, through vinification and fermentation carried out in stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeasts and minimal use of sulphites, in pursuit of the utmost naturalness. After the tirage comes a period of ageing on its own lees for at least 24 months, which lends breadth and definition to the aromatic profile. The wine is completed without final dosage, in the Brut Nature style, a choice that keeps its mineral tension and vibrant freshness fully intact.
On tasting, Essentielle shows a pale gold colour with delicate copper highlights and a fine, persistent perlage, which accompanies a remarkably precise nose where notes of small red fruits, redcurrant and raspberry intertwine with hints of citrus, white flowers and a chalky touch of limestone origin. On the palate the entry is taut and vibrant, supported by incisive acidity and a sleek structure that finds balance in the juicy fruit of the Pinot Noir, while the absence of dosage enhances the purity of the profile and a clear salinity that carries the wine through to a long, mineral and beautifully persistent finish.
