Champagne Durdon Bouval - Blanc de Noirs Brut Nature Les Sablons
1*Étoile
Hachette
“ Favorite s for this Meunier, vinified using the ‘ Organic ’ method, with its beautiful, distinctive character!”
“Harvested in 2019 from the Sablons vineyard, this Meunier has a delicate nose, blending notes of acacia, lemon, and white fruits. Its winemaking process (with malolactic fermentation halted) and the absence of dosage enhance its freshness, which harmonizes beautifully with citrus aromas. Characterized by a hint of bitterness on the finish, it possesses all the hallmarks of a brut nature, with a distinguished character.” (Le Guide Hachette 2024).

About the estate:
In 2000, Ludovic and Sandie Durdon took over the family estate in the Marne Valley, continuing a tradition spanning three generations. Managing 7.5 hectares, they began the transition to organic farming for 3 hectares of vineyards; certification was granted in 2013 for the Chardonnay and in 2015 for the Pinots, with biodynamic certification following in 2023. Since 2021, a wine press and a new winemaking facility have enabled the estate to carry out the entire winemaking process on-site, a task previously entrusted to the local cooperative.

About the estate:
The family-owned estate has just welcomed the fifth generation of winemakers, with Antoine—the owners’ son—in attendance. With vineyards located in Vincelles and Barzy, in the heart of the Marne Valley, the estate owns just over 6 hectares. The estate practices certified organic farming for its Chardonnay and is currently in the process of obtaining certification for its two Pinot varieties. The wines are aged partly in barrels and partly in tanks, then left to mature in the cellar for many years. This estate offers excellent quality across its entire lineup and also welcomes you to its guesthouse to discover its wines and vineyard. Of note is the introduction of a single-vineyard wine, “Les Sablons.”
