Description
"Hauts Bourgeois" Premier Cru shows the particularly terroir-driven and precise signature of Brice Allouchery. The single vineyard ("Lieu-Dit d'Origine") gives the Champagne a clear identity with striking mineral tension and great depth. The chalky soils of the Montagne de Reims provide structure, freshness, and a very elegant line. Allouchery works consciously in an artisanal and nature-oriented way, which makes the origin and vintage particularly transparent.
2019 presents itself as open and harmonious, yet incredibly focused and energetic. The Champagne combines fine ripeness with precise freshness and a saline minerality that gives the wine a lot of tension. Instead of opulent breadth or sweet richness, "Hauts Bourgeois" clearly focuses on balance, precision, and terroir-driven elegance. It is precisely this combination of depth and freshness that makes the vintage particularly characterful.
The long lees aging additionally provides complexity and a fine, elegant perlage, without masking the clear style. This gives the Premier Cru a modern yet very classic grower Champagne style - mineral, vinous, and with a long, saline-elegant finish.
