Vauversin — Or d'Âge 2019

Or d'Âge 2019

Vauversin | Brut Nature | Vintage 2019

I've had the pleasure of tasting three champagnes from Vauversin in recent weeks – and although they're all based on 100% Chardonnay from Oger, they couldn't have been more different.

Orpair 2019 Approachable, fruit-forward, lively. A champagne that opens immediately – with bright fruit, fine bubbles, and precise freshness. Perfect as an introduction, aperitif, or with light dishes. Charming without detours.

Les Crayères 2020 Concentrated, mineral, with depth. A real terroir experience: chalky, salty, precise. What particularly surprised me was the intense tobacco note that showed itself unexpectedly yet perfectly harmoniously integrated. Not an everyday champagne – but one that demands space and attention.

and Today...

Or d'Âge Aged, complex, quiet. A contemplative character – with structure, depth, and mature elegance. Made from a Réserve Perpétuelle, aged in oak barrels, without malolactic fermentation, Brut Nature.

In the glass it shows multiple layers: • Citrus peel, roasted almonds, a touch of brioche • Noticeably chalky on the finish, with salty length • With some air, a fine oxidative depth unfolds, reminiscent of aged Chardonnay – subtle but perceptible

A champagne that doesn't want to please, but rather connects depth with clarity. For me, an ideal glass to enjoy on its own – no pairing, no menu, just a quiet evening and a very attentive Chardonnay.

All three bear the signature of Laurent Vauversin – organic, clear, uncompromising. And impressively show how different Chardonnay can be when given time, terroir, and finesse.
