Jacques Chaput

Le Mythic | Bottle 75cl

Description

Mythic is an exceptional cuvée by Jacques Chaput, embodying the quest for purity and authenticity. Made exclusively from Chardonnay from the Kimmeridgian limestone-clay terroir, this unfined Brut Nature is a rare, complex and expressive champagne, perfectly suited to lovers of straightforward, intense champagnes.

A Blanc de Blancs with an assertive identity

Cuvée Le Mythic is made from the 2010 harvest, bottled in 2011, then aged for 13 years on laths in the cellars of Maison Jacques Chaput. This extended maturation period reveals the richness and depth of Chardonnay, while preserving its mineral freshness. No liqueur was added at disgorgement(dosage 0 g/L), enhancing the wine's precision and elegance.

With this cuvée, Maison Chaput asserts a strong signature: that of 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 feed "the good fire" and extinguish "the bad", both in the vineyard and in the cellar.
