Odyssée 319 - Jour 4 : Mareuil sur Aÿ

The "Jour" cuvées embody a singular approach to Champagne, highlighting unique expressions of rigorously selected terroirs. Each vintage, each plot and each blend is conceived as a veritable odyssey, revealing the quintessence of Champagne's vineyards. *Jour 4*, from the prestigious Mareuil-sur-Aÿ terroir, perfectly illustrates this quest for excellence and precision.

This cuvée is the fruit of a harmonious blend of Pinot Noir (65%) and Chardonnay (35%), carefully selected from three emblematic plots: Trayette (Pinot Noir), La Clef (Chardonnay) and La Ronce (Chardonnay). Cultivated with passion by Olivier Bonville, these vines benefit from meticulous care, guaranteeing a pure expression of the terroir Premier Cru of Mareuil-sur-Aÿ.

Vinification takes place in Tonnellerie Artisanale Champagne demi-muids (from a Second vin), refining the complexity and elegance of this cuvée. After 32 months aging on lees, *Jour 4* develops remarkable depth and aromatic richness.

Upon opening, the nose reveals a captivating intensity, dominated by notes of ripe fruit, delicate spices and a touch of brioche. On the palate, full-bodied and silky, the generous structure is enhanced by refined woody nuances of vanilla and toasted hazelnut. The long finish seduces with its salinity and purity, the signature of the great Champagnes of gastronomy.

With a dosage of 4.2 g/L and a disgorgement date of October 2024, this 3504-bottle cuvée stands out for its subtle balance and ability to evolve with elegance.
