SIX Iconic TERROIRS
Dival Cotel is a selection of grapes, locality, that reflect a historical legacy: the heritage of a land, shaped by men, and the know-how of winemakers across centuries. A newsy and true-to-the-land approach of the valleys and hillsides of Champagne.
SIX TERROIRS FOR DIVAL COTEL CHAMPAGNES
VILLAGES EXCLUSIVELY SELECTED AT THE HEART OF THE CHAMPAGNE VALLEYS AND HILLSIDES, A CHOICE, A SELECTION TO BRING TO LIGHT THE HISTORICAL KNOW-HOW OF OUR WINEMAKERS
TERROIR N°1 : Côte des Blancs
A real water reservoir, thanks to its porosity
The fruit pulls on its roots to absorb water. This gives a good balance between acidity and sugar to the fruit, allowing it to reveal its aromas, and all the freshness of the Blanc de Blancs.
TERROIR N°2 : Côte des BAR
A mixture of clay and Kimmeridgian limestone.
Ensures a balanced moisture content and retains heat. The proportion of clay in the soil will determine the style of the wine. The clay gives body to the wine, and the limestone gives finesse.
TERROIR N°3 : MONTAGNE DE REIMS
The soil is rich and finer grained than the marl.
Mixture of clay and limestone. They constitute a cold rock base which delays the maturation of the grapes. The limestone brings finesse and balance.
This soil is known to give powerful and colored wines.
TERROIR N°4 : Vallée de la Marne
To the West: the Marne River regulates the atmosphere, and offers a micro climate, and a mildness that allows the grapes to develop supple and fruity aromas.
In the East: the dominant grape variety is Pinot Noir. They are full-bodied, fine and delicate, and offer less freshness
TERROIR N°5 : Côte de Sézanne
The dots illustrate the soils which are composed of chalk, limestone and clay.
ERROIR N°6 : Vitryat
The dots and small lines that connect them express the chalky soil and the specific chalk of this terroir.
Dival Cotel Champagne Blanc De Blancs Premier Cru Vertus 2014
Origin
Grapes grown in Vertus, a 1er Cru Village.
A terroir of chalk, known for its fineness, delicacy, complexity and salinity.
Personality
The Vintage:
A freezing winter and invasion of fruit flies, especially on red grapes, that didn’t impact the Cote des Blancs. We were fortunate to have an abundant harvest of qualitative chardonnays.
NB: vintages represent only 2% of the harvest in Champagne.
A plot-by-plot winemaking process, made over a selection of 4-5 hectares of vines
Harvest date: 12 September
The wine was blended with reserve wine matured for several years in barrels
