The production of Marc Augustin's AMME Chardonnay champagne
AMME, the name of this cuvée, is an acronym for the four members of the Augustin family: Arthur, Maxence, and their parents, Marc and Emmanuelle.
Made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes, the AMME cuvée comes from the Premier Cru terroir of Vertus, in the heart of the Côte des Blancs. This terroir, characterized by its clay-limestone soils, gives the wine great minerality and beautiful freshness. Faithful to biodynamic viticulture, Marc Augustin works according to the lunar phases and natural principles, with absolute respect for the vine and its environment.
This cuvée is unblended to allow the grapes and terroir to express themselves to the fullest. Fermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts from the previous year's lees, without filtration or added sulfur.
Aging on lees gives the AMME cuvée a beautiful aromatic complexity and a balanced texture. This blanc de blancs displays remarkable liveliness.
