Mythic is an exceptional cuvée from Jacques Chaput that embodies the quest for purity and authenticity. Made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes grown in the clay-limestone soil of the Kimmeridgian terroir, this Brut Nature with no dosage is a rare, complex, and expressive champagne, perfectly suited for lovers of straightforward, intense champagnes.
A Blanc de Blancs with a strong identity
The Le Mythic cuvée is from the 2010 harvest, bottled in 2011, then aged for 13 years on slats in the cellars of Maison Jacques Chaput. This extended maturation period reveals the richness and depth of the Chardonnay, while preserving its mineral freshness. No liqueur is added during disgorging (dosage 0 g/L), which enhances the precision and elegance of the wine as a whole.
With this cuvée, Maison Chaput asserts its strong signature: a racy, sincere champagne with a deliberately raw style. Its name, Le Mythic, and the salamander emblem borrowed from François I, reflect this desire to nurture "the good fire" and extinguish "the bad," both in the vineyard and in the cellar.
