In 1975, he turned the still-young winery over to his\u003cbr\u003ethree daughters. His youngest daughter, Anne-Marie, later married Daniel Clément, and together they\u003cbr\u003econtinued the legacy her father started under the name Champagne Clément et Fils. Their son Serge came\u003cbr\u003eafter them and ran the winery until 2017, when his son and current winemaker, Aurélien, took the reins.\u003cbr\u003eAurélien, like his parents and grandparents before him, is fiercely proud of the artisanal traditions of the\u003cbr\u003ewinery. To this day, every step in the Champagne winemaking process is taken by hand: farming,\u003cbr\u003eharvesting, bottling, riddling, and labeling. Aurélien still plows by horse and uses the original vertical\u003cbr\u003epress that great-grandfather Henri installed; it is the last one of its kind in their village. The winery is\u003cbr\u003eundergoing organic certification at the moment, but no herbicides or pesticides have been used since\u003cbr\u003e2019. Fermentations are all with native yeasts, and very low or no dosages are used. Aurélien and his\u003cbr\u003efamily believe that these practices ensure that the ancestral unique house style of their Champagne is\u003cbr\u003epreserved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLa Bourse Lorain is 100% Pinot Meunier from a lieu-dit called La Bourse Laurain in Coizard-Joches. This is a\u003cbr\u003eparcel of 1.3 hectares planted in 1965 and 1969 entirely to Pinot Meunier. The site has clay and black flint soils that lend a particular character to the wine. The base wine is spontaneously fermented and aged for 9-months in old barrels of 205L called “pièce champenoise”. After bottling, the wine rests on lees for 3 years before hand-disgorgement. Total dosage is 1g\/l. 35mg\/l SO2 added.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Julian Sinclair","offers":[{"title":"White \/ Champagne \/ 2021","offer_id":68441253151024,"sku":null,"price":82.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/3797\/5088\/files\/0_f8ce6829-2c27-4c72-ac85-b13f11829c02.jpg?v=1794336250","url":"https:\/\/www.linerandelsen.com\/products\/clement-et-fils-champagne-blanc-de-noirs-extra-brut-la-bourse-laurain-2021","provider":"Liner \u0026 Elsen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
