Coessens Largillier Brut Nature, Champagne, France 2019

Since 2006, Jerome Coessens has crafted Champagne from his family’s prized 2.25-hectare parcel, Largillier, in Ville-sur-Arce (Aube). Planted exclusively to old-vine Pinot Noir on Kimmeridgian limestone and clay, this south-facing slope delivers power, elegance, and precision. Each cuvee—Fruit, Flower, Substance, and Mineral—captures a different facet of the terroir, vinified separately for purity and expression. With minimal oak, Coessens wines shine with clarity of place and vintage.

From a single vineyard called Largillier; from a single varietal : Pinot Noir and from a single vintage.For this wine we use only grapes from the plot we call MINERAL. No dosage is added to this wine  which is characterised by aromas of citrus fruit, chalk, and flintstone. The mineral character of this wine is more pronounced due to the higher limestone content of the soil in this plot. Bold on the attack (thanks to the clay in the KM2 soil) ; refreshing with marked minerality and a long finish (thanks to the limestone content of the KM2 soil).
