The production of the 2019 Bas-Bauchet Gamet champagne
The 2019 Bas-Bauchet cuvée is a pure Meunier, highlighting a unique plot of the estate located on the right bank of the Marne in Damery. This specific terroir, known as "Bas-Bauchet," is composed of clay- and chalk-rich soils, giving this cuvée remarkable minerality and tension.
The 2019 vintage was a particularly favorable year in Champagne, marked by sunny weather that allowed the grapes to ripen to perfection. This cuvée thus reflects all the richness of an exceptional vintage. This vintage highlights the purity and aromatic depth of Meunier.
This cuvée is vinified in 228-liter oak barrels to promote the development of aromatic complexity and a certain roundness. Aging on lees for 10 months gives the wine a rich, silky texture. Malolactic fermentation is carried out, adding roundness and depth to the wine. After three years of aging on slats, the Bas-Bauchet is disgorged with an Extra Brut dosage of 6g/L to preserve the balance and purity of this unique champagne.
