Champagne Blanc de Noirs Envol is made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes from the parcel (Lieu-Dit) "En Barmont", in the Ricey village, Côte des Bar. Harvest 2018, Champagne Envol vinified and aged in wooden barrels for over 60 months, has zero addition of sulfites and no final dosage (Brut Nature). This cuvée represents the simplest and most intimate expression of the terroir of the lieu-dit “en Barmont”, red clay and Kimmeridgian limestone with a south-eastern orientation which transmit excellent structure, flavor and minerality.
According to the philosophy of Olivier Horiot : "Envol" stands for fly away, let go, leap into the void. Let the earth and the sky guide the wine, make the winegrower’s hand and thought light as a feather, trust the elements and let the bubbles of this completely free Pinot Noir express themselves! A nose of extreme finesse and a surprising, stunning minerality that makes us understand the name of the wine! Everything in this wine, whether on the nose or on the palate, is delicate, discreet, surprising. We pass from iodized minerality to notes of fresh citrus, and from flint and wet chalk to fresh fruit. It is indeed a "Flight" where everyone indulges in the discovery of aromas and their own thoughts.
