Gonet-Medeville, Champagne Blanc de Noirs 'Bouzy' Grand Cru Les Savelons Extra Brut
Bouzy is the quintessential terroir of the southern Montagne de Reims, its vineyards arrayed across a magnificent, fully south-facing slope. This ensures a consistently high level of ripeness, creating ample, generous wines that are perhaps rounder and less tense than those of its neighbor Ambonnay, while also being capable of great longevity and complexity.
Pinot noir reigns supreme in this section of the Montagne de Reims, and Bouzy has historically been highly regarded for its red wines as well as its pinot-dominated champagnes, its chalky subsoil providing structure and finesse to complement and lift the rich ripeness and opulent, red-fruit flavors.
