Rene Geoffroy 'Les Houtrants Complantes' Premier Cru Brut Nature NV In the parcel Les Houtrants, Geoffroy planted in 2004 a mixed set of five varieties (Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay, Arbane and Petit Meslier). The aim is to bring out the Cumières terroir in the best way. The topsoil here contains a lot of clay and silt, interspersed with flint fragments. The subsoil contains sandstone and limestone marl. In order not to compact the soil and to keep it as healthy as possible, this vineyard is cultivated by horse. The grapes are harvested together and vinified in enamel tanks. Wood is avoided so as not to affect the flavor. Les Houtrants is made according to a solera-like system and contains all vintages from 2008 ("single vineyard - multi vintage"). There is no malolactic fermentation and no filtration. About 1,000 bottles are bottled annually. They are closed in the traditional way with natural corks instead of the usual crown corks. The bottles are numbered and strictly limit
