Andre Beaufort a Polisy Derriere l'Eglise Brut Nature Millesime 2017
This is priced higher than average for Champagne Brut Nature - Zero wine. The price has been stable over the past year.
Andre Beaufort a Polisy Derriere l'Eglise Brut Nature Millesime 2017 is a high-quality, organic vintage Champagne from the Polisy vineyards in the Aube region of Champagne, France. This wine is made exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes sourced from an old single vineyard parcel called "Derrière l'Église," known for producing wines with notable acidity and length.
The vineyard is farmed organically with biodynamic influences, adhering to minimal intervention and natural treatments. The wine undergoes wild yeast fermentation, extended aging on lees (typically 5+ years), and is disgorged by hand "à la volée" (without dosage), making it a Brut Nature with no added sugar, expressing pure terroir. It is known for its complexity, lively minerality, fresh acidity, and refined structure.
This 2017 vintage reflects the traditional, artisanal approach of André Beaufort, emphasizing a deep connection to the vineyard and sustainable practices, resulting in a Champagne with vibrant energy, finesse, and a long, clean finish.
