WINE SEMINAR

champagne chavost with fabian daviaux

Fabian Daviaux has redefined the concept of a co-op as his numerous growers have committed to his preferred dynamic viticulture, in turn creating beautifully pure, ripe and delicious Champagnes. What's more, with strong vineyard work comes the need for little - if any - sulfur addition, and most of his wines are never sulfured at all. In the winery, the grapes are allowed to ferment naturally in stainless steel tanks after pressing, with only the Coteaux Champenois Blanc and the Saignée Rosé seeing time in barrel. The rest of the range is crafted to be immediately enjoyable, with incredible freshness and purity of fruit.
