The S.A. (Sans Anne) is a snapshot of the terroir of Vandieres. This non-vintage Champagne shows the terroir of Vandieres with the fruit coming from multiple parcels. Spontaneous fermentation with natural yeasts. Ageing in a combination of stainless steel and small oak barrels. The vin clair is not chaptalized, fined, filtered, or cold stabilized and naturally goes through malo on its own in the Spring. Ageing on crown cap for secondary fermentation using MCR. VEGAN

Flavien Nowack is an 8th generation grower and visionary winemaker working in his home village of Vandières. His 10 hectares (~25 acres) of vineyards are farmed organically and biodynamically, with a focus on restoring biodiversity through trees, cover crops, and a variety of wildlife. These bubbles are fermented naturally with minimal sulfur, extended aging in oak, and often five years or more under cork/capsule before release. The result is elegant, fresh, mineral, textured, and delicate Champagne. Nowack stands out in our Champagne selection for being drier/leaner than most!
