The wine region of Flandre
Northern Belgian vineyard (~60% of national production), sandy and clay-limestone soils, temperate maritime climate comparable to Champagne 30 years ago. Signature Chardonnay as white king: taut and precise with notes of citrus, green apple, white flowers, brioche and chalky touch — base for fresh and precise sparklers. Aerial Pinot Noir (cherry, raspberry), round Pinot Meunier, vibrant Riesling. PIWI (Solaris, Johanniter) as complements.
The word of the wine: Reassembly
During the vinification process, a "cap" is formed at the top of the vats with the solid parts (skin, pulp, pips, etc.), which contain tannins and colouring elements. Pumping over consists of emptying the vat from the bottom and pouring the juice back to the top, in order to mix the cap and the juice and to favour the exchange and the extraction. This old technique allows a better exchange between the solid parts and the liquid.
