Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

For Champagne Cazals vintages, they choose the ripest plots where the vines are 40 years old on average to produce smooth and rich wines that last in the mouth.

This vintage is exceptional. Its finish is an explosion of flavors. The year 2009 in Champagne, qualitatively, the weather was clement. The grapes reached a great maturity. The Chardonnay of the house Cazals, sublimate this wonderful year into a rich and full of emotions wine.

    The 2009 Blanc de Blancs Millesime Grand Cru Le Mesnil Sur Oger is terrific as well. Brioche, stone fruits, white flowers, hints of yeast and spice all emerge from this medium-bodied, beautifully textured, vibrant Champagne that has racy acidity, plenty of concentration, and a great, great finish.

Champagne Cazals, France
Champagne Cazals Winery Image
Champagne Cazals in Mesnil-sur-Oger dates back from the late XIX Century. Over decades, the family has quietly acquired a remarkable collection of jaw dropping vineyards : from a once named “Clos Chétillons”, le ‘Puy de Gaumes’ neighboring Vertus or the southern tip of ‘Les Carelles’ made famous by Selosse. But the crown jewel of Delphine Cazals holdings is unquestionably the walled-in vineyard inside her family home in the famous village of Oger, home to some of the most gifted Chardonnay vineyards in all of Champagne. Clos Cazals is undeniably one of Champagne's emerging behemoths given its geographical location.

Representing the topmost expression of a Champagne house, a vintage Champagne is one made from the produce of a single, superior harvest year. Vintage Champagnes account for a mere 5% of total Champagne production and are produced about three times in a decade. Champagne is typically made as a blend of multiple years in order to preserve the house style; these will have non-vintage, or simply, NV on the label. The term, "vintage," as it applies to all wine, simply means a single harvest year.

Associated with luxury, celebration, and romance, the region, Champagne, is home to the world’s most prized sparkling wine. In order to bear the label, ‘Champagne’, a sparkling wine must originate from this northeastern region of France—called Champagne—and adhere to strict quality standards. Made up of the three towns Reims, Épernay, and Aÿ, it was here that the traditional method of sparkling wine production was both invented and perfected, birthing a winemaking technique as well as a flavor profile that is now emulated worldwide.

Well-drained, limestone and chalky soil defines much of the region, which lend a mineral component to its wines. Champagne’s cold, continental climate promotes ample acidity in its grapes but weather differences from year to year can create significant variation between vintages. While vintage Champagnes are produced in exceptional years, non-vintage cuvées are produced annually from a blend of several years in order to produce Champagnes that maintain a consistent house style.

With nearly negligible exceptions, . These can be blended together or bottled as individual varietal Champagnes, depending on the final style of wine desired. Chardonnay, the only white variety, contributes freshness, elegance, lively acidity and notes of citrus, orchard fruit and white flowers. Pinot Noir and its relative Pinot Meunier, provide the backbone to many blends, adding structure, body and supple red fruit flavors. Wines with a large proportion of Pinot Meunier will be ready to drink earlier, while Pinot Noir contributes to longevity. Whether it is white or rosé, most Champagne is made from a blend of red and white grapes—and uniquely, rosé is often produce by blending together red and white wine. A Champagne made exclusively from Chardonnay will be labeled as ‘blanc de blancs,’ while ones comprised of only red grapes are called ‘blanc de noirs.’
