Domaine Vincey, Champagne Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Brut Nature "Coin Gris Oger", 2021 Grower Champagne a waxy textureCoin Gris ("gray corner") is one of Quentin and Marine Vincey's oldest parcels: massal selection Chardonnay planted in 1954 in Oger Grand Cru, east facing on a thin 50 cm of brown clay over deep chalk. The shallow topsoil and cooler exposure push the wine toward focus and stony texture rather than power. Biodynamic farming, ambient ferment, 12 months in barrel (20% new, all local oak) and a long 36 months on the lees precede zero dosage disgorgement
