Franck Pascal farms his four hectares under biodynamics in the Chatillon area of the Vallée de la Marne, crops at very moderate levels and uses only indigenous yeasts for his fermentations. His current release of “Fluence” Brut Nature is from the base year of 2013, with thirty percent of the blend from 2012.  Notes of peach and stone fruit with pretty floral undertones all layered nicely with the perfect balance and lovely texture. 

Grapes: 60% Pinot Meunier, 34% Pinot Noir, 6% Chardonnay

Soil: Hard chalk, silex (flint), and pierre meuilère

Viticulture: Biodynamic
