Vauversin
Champagne Vauversin covers 3 hectares and is located in the Grand Cru village of Oger, between the equally famous villages of Avize and Le-Mesnil-sur-Oger on the Côte des Blancs. The family has been involved in winegrowing since 1640. With Laurent, the fourth generation began producing champagne under its own name in 2011. Only Chardonnay is cultivated, with an annual production of just 18,000 bottles.
Laurent is a person who scrutinises many things and then tackles them consistently when they seem important to him. He wants to create the best possible and most sensible transition between preserving centuries of experience and new, contemporary impulses and visions. The first thing he initiated after taking over was the conversion to organic viticulture - the winery was certified in 2014, making it the first organic winery in Oger.
Biodiversity in the vineyard is particularly important to him. As a result, you can see a variety of herbs and shrubs when you enter the Vauversin vineyards. Laurent is convinced that if a positive energy is cultivated in the soil and vines, this is also transferred to the people who enjoy his champagnes. He is a quiet, contemplative type and his champagnes are exactly the same: poetic, quiet, floral, subtle, light-footed, almost ethereal, unagitated, at peace with themselves but also somehow playful, nothing overly made-up or wild - they present themselves straightforward, clean and long...!
All champagnes are vinified with indigenous yeasts from the vineyard and are not filtered. They are very low in sulphur (less than 35mg/l) - and extremely digestible! They are still riddled by hand in the natural cellar.

All champagnes have been vinified with indigenous yeasts and with no filtration. They are low in sulfite (less than 35mg/l) Riddling by hand . Tasting: Named after Laurent's grandmother, therefore it is slightly higher dosed, as this was so popular in the past. But it looks anything but sweet, but extremely charming, clean, clear, playful, floral, a little fruity, beautiful!

Vauversin Orpair 2021 - Bio
100% Chardonnay Dosage: 3g/l 3 years of bottle maturity 12 months aging in used oak All champagnes have been vinified with indigenous yeasts and with no filtration. They are low in sulfite (less than 35mg/l)! Riddling by hand in natural cellar! Tilman FEB24 (vintage 2019): Floral-frischer Beginn, dann mit leicht oxidativer Aromatik immer komplexer werdend, mit schönem Zug und würzigem Finish. Tasting JUL21 (base 2016): powerful and spicy, lots of power, nice use of wood, expressive, exotic aromas, open aromatics but not too ripe, subtle spiciness, long finish. Tasting FEB20 (base 2014): 2014 has less acid than 2013, which makes it a bit more accessible, the wood aroma is beautiful, extremely long, nutty finish. High tension, like a whole feature film so complex, super nice spiciness - but rather delicate spiciness, prancing length. Tasting JUN19 (based on 2013): very independent, ethereal, floral, calm but resounding. Clean and gentle, yet powerful. Aromas cannot be grasped, with every sip of new flavors, always extremely harmonious. Light-footed, very long, somehow poetic. The acid is medium-strong, but still gripping, then melts off nicely, so that you catch up with the next sip. If he breathes longer he gets very delicate, extremely charming notes of milk candy - addictive potential!
