Florain Gondé knows what he wants to do and is gradually taking charge of his parents’ estate, paying their same attention in cultivating almost four hectares of vineyards in the village of Taissy in Montage de Reims. The estate has employed sustainable farming methods, using no pesticides or herbicides, since 2009 and in 2013 was certified level 3 HVE (Haute Valeur Environmentale).
A vintage 2011 blend from old vines, 80% Pinot Meunier and 20% Pinot Noir, with each parcel fermented separately in stainless steel without malolactic fermentation, a limited use of sulfites and a dosage of 12g/l. The dosage is not evident to the palate thanks to the innate freshness and precision of this Champagne, which brings together roundness and fruit in a lovely dynamic.
