The production of Mont de Tauxière 2019 Georges Remy champagne

The wine is vinified in barrels and aged on fine lees to refine the texture and preserve the energy of the fruit. The absence of dosage reveals the terroir and the purity of the chalk.

• Pinot Noir brings structure, energy, and red fruit.
• Chardonnay brings freshness, brightness, and purity.

The terroir

The Le Mont de Tauxière plot is located in Bouzy (Grand Cru), on the Montagne de Reims. The brown limestone soils rest directly on chalk, which regulates water and heat. This configuration results in a straightforward, salty profile with a distinct mineral tension and great length.

Vinification

Vinification is carried out entirely in barrels, with long aging on fine lees to round out the structure without losing tension. Bottled in July 2020 and disgorged in January 2025, this cuvée is dosed at 0 g/L (Brut Nature).

The 2019 vintage

A sunny vintage with assertive maturity, 2019 offers concentrated and balanced juices. In this wine, the richness of the vintage meets a limestone tension that stretches the palate and reinforces the sensation of purity.
