A delicate and elegant nose with notes of pear, lemon zest, and a chalky, mineral touch... The palate is tense, mineral, and floral, with lovely bitter notes, fine bubbles, and a long, lingering finish.
Jérôme and Charlotte Bourgeois
Jérôme and Charlotte Bourgeois, partners in life and in the vineyard, are co-managers of Domaine Bourgeois-Diaz, inherited from Jérôme's parents, marking the fourth generation of winemakers. Both born in Champagne, they met in 2007 when the estate was still conventional; since then, it’s evolved constantly: first to converting to organic, then biodynamic practices, and now vinifying all their vines themselves, a shift from his parents’ approach, who were selling their grapes to bigger houses. Charlotte, after completing an agricultural diploma, dedicated herself fully to the Maison de Champagne starting with the 2015 harvest. The 7-hectare estate is made up of some 20 parcels scattered around the town of Crouttes-sur-Marne, halfway between Reims and Paris. Bourgeois-Diaz produces two stunning single-parcel cuvées and iconic single-varietal Champagnes, always striving for purity and allowing the terroir to shine. All of which makes their champagne one for our times – this is resolutely modern bubbly.
