CERTIFIED BIODYNAMIC CHAMPAGNES

From winegrowers have embarked on a path of renewal to offer Biodynamic Champagne i.e. from biodynamic vineyards, low or no dosage (i.e. without the addition of a yeast- and sugar-based liqueur), no added sulfites either. It's certainly a good thing that the revisit working with ChampagneIt's a product that can sometimes be overworked, with the aim of offering consumers vintages perfectly regular vintage to each other.

BIODYNAMIC CERTIFIED CHAMPAGNE

CERTIFIED BIODYNAMIC CHAMPAGNES

The Champagne vineyard mainly produces "sparkling white winesproduced mainly from 3 grape varieties the Pinot Noirthe Pinot Meunier and the Chardonnay. Appellation d'Origine Contrôléethe Champagne takes its name from the northeastern region of France and is bounded by 4 regionsthe Reims Mountainthe Marne Valleythe Côte des Blancs and the Bar Coastall together 17 Champagne terroirs. The Reims Mountain (department of Marne), most of which face south, the hillsides are located on soils with deeply buried chalk. The grape variety dominant is the pinot noir. The Marne Valley (Marne, Aisne and Seine-et-Marne), the hillsides are located on predominantly clay-limestone soils, à marl tendency. The grape variety dominant is the pinot meunier. The Côte des blancs (Marne), a grape variety reigns supreme, the chardonnay. The chalk outcropping is everywheretrue water tank and heat from underground. The vineyard from l'Aubeon the Côte des Bars (Bar-sur-Aube and Bar-sur-Seine in Aube), the basements trendy marl are mainly planted with pinot noir.

A biodynamic wine is at least a organic wine,respecting AB specifications. Before 2012, only the production of grapes was governed by the European specifications for organic farmingand excluded the use of fertilizers and synthetic pesticides (the main treatments are based on sulfur and copper). There were no rules governing the vinification phase. The 2012 legislation has filled this gap by setting a certain rules : limitation of raw materials and usable additives (including sulfur, but with a high threshold), ban on certain techniques as electrodialysisthe partial dealcoholizationthe cold concentrationand others, which has enabled us to break new ground. not significant. The list authorized additives is long, as are various natural acids (lactic, tartaric, citric, ascorbic, etc.), the sulfites and citrates can be added to the wineas well as yeastfrom sugar and sometimes even oak chips to give a woody taste (this practice is rare but permitted).

Clearly, it is possible to find behind a AB label as well a wine with a industrial "and relatively high additive levels thata craftsman's wine, made with care to accompany nature's work from the vine to the cellar. Beyond the rules of organic farming described above, the independent labels (the main ones are Demeter, Biodyvin, Nature & Progress) have been set up with the aim of establishing a more demanding specificationsbased on in-depth reflection on the balance between the vine's ecosystem (including flora and fauna) and the man. Taking into account natural cycles (including the lunar cycle). The work of the vine and the soil is carried out taking into account lunar cycles (rising moon, descending, sheet day, root dayand more surprisingly the vinification also with filling and the bottling are also made at selected times.

Visit tasting the effects are less certain, but some winegrowers noted that the reduction could be more present in waning moonand others are reluctant to open their bottles at the moment of a lunar node In this respect, one thing's for sure: the only way to know for sure is to taste. The use of herbal sprays (nettle, horsetail, valerian, sage...) for revitalize the life of soil and strengthen vine. The biodynamics is in line with the logic of phytotherapy "of the vine and soils. Visit winemaker prepares its plant purins and sprays on vines to reinforce its vigour, enabling it to better resist disease attack (downy mildew, powdery mildew, etc.) or gel.

A must in biodynamics the preparations 3 main preparations based minerals are used (known as biodynamic preparations). The horn dung (known as preparation 500) is used to reinforce the underground life of the vine by acting on the plant root system. It is prepared by introducing a cow dung in a cow horn that bury during the winter period to ferment it. Preparation is unearthed at springthen diluted in rainwater at a rate of approximately 1 gram per liter. This mixture is "dynamizedi.e. energetically stirred for an hour to create a vortexthen pulverized in the process. the latter favors microbial activity and the humus formation. She regulates soil pH by increasing that of acidic soils and in attenuating that of alkaline soils. She stimulates seed germinationthe general root system growth and particularly its vertical development towards depth. It helps dissolution of mineral formations in the soil, even at depth.

This preparation is frequently used in biodynamic viticulture the dung compost developed by the German Maria Thun. It is a concentrated compost made from cow dung with added basalt powderof eggshells and other biodynamic compost preparations. It can be used several times a yearfor example before using horn dung in early spring. It is preferably applied on a root day when the moon is waning. It enables good microbial lifeit active the plant decomposition and organic materials and, as a result favors a rapid soil restructuring. Its components help formation of numerous micro-organisms that enable develop the soil's clay-humus complex. Application in Novemberjust after the harvest for improve the decomposition of organic matter in the soil.

The final preparation is from horn silica prepared by placing rock crystal (quartz) in a cow horn and burying it during the summer period, before dynamization (like preparation 500) and spraying. It complements 500 preparationcalled the preparation 501 which acts on the aerial part of plants during their vegetative period (winter). The following year, it will assimilation of sunlight by the plantwill help leaf development and to supply the energy needed for good fruiting. It promotes vertical plant growthwhich facilitates the vine training. It increases quality and the resistance from leaf epidermis and fruit. Last but not least, it is a decisive factor in ensuring good food qualitythe nutritional quality of food is enhanced, the taste and flavors which are highlighted.

For the authorized additives (inputs), the specifications of the Biodynamics is very more restrictive than the Organic Viticulture and maximum permissible sulphur thresholds are significantly lower (some 30% lower). Some scoff at the the esoteric dimension of biodynamicsbut it is clear that it allows a clear improved wine quality and leads the winemaker(ne)s to a deep understanding of vines and terroir.
