Champagne Brut Cuvee Air
The Domaine Augustin Champagne Brut Cuvée Air 2016 is a blend of 50% Pinot Noir and 50% Chardonnay. The name “Air” refers to one of the four elements that inspire the concept behind Emmanuelle and Marc Augustin’s Champagnes. The estate’s vineyards are farmed according to biodynamic principles; Domaine Augustin has applied biodynamic practices across its entire vineyard area since 2013 and received Demeter certification in 2016. The cuvée is produced without additional dosage at disgorgement and without added sulphites. In the cellar, the estate follows a low-intervention approach: the Champagnes are not filtered, while enamelled tanks, wooden vessels and terracotta amphorae are among the containers used for vinification. The aim is to preserve the wine’s natural balance and individual character as faithfully as possible. In the glass, it displays a straw-yellow colour. The nose combines fruity aromas with delicate pastry notes. On the palate, it is rounded, harmonious and refined, with a light, elegant structure that gives this cuvée its distinctive character.
