Holistique Brut Nature Thomas de Marne 2015

The wine

Holistique, a meticulous blend of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay, is the fruit of the passionate and meticulous efforts of Valérie and her son Thomas de Marne. The vines, which nestle in the heart of the Côte des Bar, near Ville sur Arce, are exclusively cultivated following the principles of organic farming. In the winery, vinification involves minimal intervention. Fermentations, conducted in casks, are triggered spontaneously by native yeasts naturally present in the berries. Lastly, sulphur is kept to a minimum to allow the terroir to express its full character naturally.
The delicate golden colour, combined with a fine effervescence, reveals a festive and exhilarating bouquet, characterised by elegant floral and yellow fruit aromas. The clean, mineral and remarkably opulent palate leads to a lingering, refreshing finish.

About the Producer Thomas de Marne

Champagne Thomas de Marne is a family estate located in Ville-sur-Arce, in the heart of the Côte des Bar area of Champagne. It has held an organic certificate since 2007 and covers 6.2 hectares of vines – 5.7 of which are planted with Pinot Noir and the remaining 0.5 with Chardonnay. The vines which are 40 years old on average are harvested entirely by hand and these grapes go on to produce about 17,000 bottles per year. Thomas de Marne continues the sustainable work of his mother Valérie Frison, with an artisanal approach that respects nature. Vinification takes place without additives in oak barrels without filtration or fining to create Brut Nature Champagnes (no sugar is added during the second fermentation). The estate’s style can be described as delicate, mineral and lively.
