Nowack S.A

Sans Annee, or simply SA, is Flavien's non-vintage Champagne, consisting of 60% Meunier and 40% Chardonnay. The base wine (making up the majority of the Champagne) comes from the 2019 vintage, with reserve wines from between the 2012 and 2018 vintage being blended in. Disgorgement took place in February 2022. All of the grapes for Sans Annee are grown and vinified by the Nowack family. Extra Brut, with a beautiful mousse, and well-balanced acidity and intensity. Notes of lemon/lime, almond, pear, apple and brioche all come through in this phenomenal grower champagne.
Domaine Nowack is led by Frederic and Flavian Nowack. These two brothers, mainly Flavien, who studied with producers like Emmanuel Brochet, have transformed this estate into a small treasure. The Nowack's have been making champagnes for generations. Still, Flavien, in 2011, had a vision for a single parcel and single village wines made from his family holdings and has slowly, every year started the process to convert one of his vineyards to Biodynamic to be used for his production later on. This is an incredible amount of work for such a small show, and most families would end up selling grapes, which is much more comfortable and makes more money. However, it is a labor of love, and the extra effort has put Nowack on the map. The estate is located in Vandières, which is in the Marne valley, Southwest of Reims, and Northwest of Epernay, with 75% of the vines planted to Pinot Meunier and the remaining split between Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
