What kind of wine is Champagne Nature 'Nos Pas Dans la Terre Complantée' S.A. - Marie Copinet

The Champagne Nature 'Nos Pas Dans la Terre Complantée' S.A. - Marie Copinet is a refined example of the authentic style of Maison Marie Copinet, located in the village of Montgenost, in the heart of Champagne. This wine is born from a balanced combination of Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, grown on clay-sandy soils in the nearby village of Brouillet, with respect for biodiversity and sustainability.

Like all true Champagnes, it is made using the méthode champenoise, or traditional method: the second fermentation takes place directly in the bottle, a process that gives the wine its fine and persistent bubbles, as well as an aromatic complexity that only time and artisanal care can guarantee.

Vintage details

The cuvée is an assemblage of different vintages (S.A. stands for “Sans Année”), designed to maintain a consistent style over time. The grapes come from balanced harvests, characterized by a cool and moderately sunny climate, factors that contribute to a brilliant aromatic profile and a marked gustatory freshness.

Vinification and aging

Primary fermentation takes place in stainless steel to preserve the purity of the fruit, followed by secondary fermentation in the bottle. The wine remains on its lees for over 30 months, during which time it develops its creamy texture and delicate complexity of toasted bread and dried fruit. Being Nature, there is no dosage: no sugar is added after disgorgement, thus fully expressing the personality of the terroir.
