COte de sezanne
- a continuation of cote de blanc
- seperated by the marshes of saint gond
- subsoil here is mostly clay and silt with pockets of chalk and vines oriented towards the southeast
- mainly planted with CH (64%) with a fifth going to PM
- south easterly aspect lets the wines tend to get riper and be more forward and fruitier than those in the cote de blancs
- some say slightly more rustic and less fine
- chardonnays appear richer and rounder on these soils
- softer and approachable earlier these make useful blending components in the NV
- south below cote de blancs
Cote des Bar
- part of aube department
- farthest south
- contains nearly 1/4th of total vineyard area
- major negociants come here to source full flavored ripe pinot noir to blend in the NV wines
- almost have the appellations PN is planted here
- only area where wine can be produced under 3 appellations (champagne / still - Ricey and Coteaux Champenois)
- wines are cleaner in style
- hill of Montgueux is trend place to source fruit from now as pure chalk soil different from the rest of Aube, produces wonderfully structured, spicy, and mineral CH
- humid atlantic influences coming in the from the west and continental influences with higher temps are two factors that help PN ripen extremely well here
