The Beaufort Champagnes are products of superb organic farming, living soils, extended sur-lie aging and the commitment of the Beaufort family to create true Champagnes of terroir. The Beauforts converted to organic agriculture in 1971 and also avoid the use of copper sulfate in the vineyard, preferring to use essential oils and homeopathic preparations of their own creation. Vinifications at Beaufort are generally 8 - 10 months long and both fermentations take place with native yeasts - these are some of the very few Champagnes to not use exogenous yeasts in the prise de mousse. The malo-lactic transformation is not blocked and the wines are not re-acidified. SO2 is used sparingly (approximately 30mg/L) or not at all depending on the vintage.
The Beauforts produce Champagnes both in Ambonnay (Grand Cru) and in Polisy, with normally a blend of about 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay. These are broad, full-bodied wines that benefit from extended sur-lie aging. "We keep our wines sur-lie as long as possible before release, so one can taste a Champagne of ten years of age with mature aromas, having conserved some traits of youth - thus, disgorgement is always recent." (Lot number and disgorgement date are always included on the back-label)
Wines expected week of 10/28 due to delays at the port.
