FEATURES
Domaine Nowack S.A. – Sans Année NV is a non-vintage Extra Brut Champagne from Vandières in the Vallée de la Marne, crafted by Flavien Nowack, a grower focused on organic, low-intervention practices. This cuvée is typically a blend of about 60% Pinot Meunier and 40% Chardonnay, often based on a recent vintage with a proportion of reserve wines. Flavien Nowack is part of the youngest generation driving the grower revolution in Champagne, emphasizing terroir and purity. The wine is made with natural yeasts, never chaptalized, fined, or filtered, and undergoes secondary fermentation with grape must, resulting in lower pressure and a focus on the wine's vinous quality. 【Purity-driven, low-intervention grower Champagne】.
It presents a pale gold color with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose offers fresh citrus, green apple, white peach, brioche, toasted hazelnut, subtle chalk, and a hint of dried herbs. On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied, crisp, and energetic, with bright acidity, delicate fruit, and a chalky, mineral-driven core. The mousse is refined, allowing the wine's purity to shine, leading to a clean and persistent finish with citrus, orchard fruit, brioche, and stony minerality. It can be enjoyed now through approximately 2029–2032, developing more brioche, nutty, and honeyed complexity with short to mid-term bottle age.
This versatile Champagne is perfect for aperitifs or as an accompaniment to a wide range of dishes. It is an excellent choice for celebrations, casual gatherings, or simply enjoying a high-quality grower Champagne. It pairs wonderfully with oysters, raw bar selections, sushi, sashimi, fried calamari, grilled seafood, roast chicken, and soft cheeses such as Brie or Chaource.
Food pairing suggestions: Freshly shucked oysters, seafood ceviche, chicken Caesar salad, or a light goat cheese salad.
