Selection

Blanc de Noirs

Extra Brut or Demi-sec

This Blanc de Noirs champagne derives exclusively from the first batch of grape juice, called the "cuvée". Vinification without malolactic fermentation takes place in thermoregulated stainless steel vats, followed by blending with reserve wines matured in oak barrels. After four to five years ageing in the cellar, this cuvée is ready to be enjoyed as an aperitif, for the Extra Brut, and ideally as a dessert wine for the Demi-Sec. A fruity champagne with a refined effervescence.

Blending: 50% Meunier and 50% Pinot Noir, Vallée de la Marne terroir.

Rosé

Extra-Brut

This champagne derives exclusively from the first batch of black grape juice. Vinification without malolactic fermentation takes place in thermoregulated stainless steel vats, followed by blending with reserve wines matured in oak barrels. The colour and the aromas of the red fruits come from the addition (during blending) of 10 to 20% red Champagne wine. A highly aromatic and rich cuvée to be enjoyed throughout a meal or to accompany a dessert based on red berries.

Blending: 50% Meunier and 50% Pinot Noir, Vallée de la Marne terroir.

Prestige

Extra Brut

Mainly derived from the Champagne Grands Crus and Premiers Crus, it is composed of the best of the first batch of grapes (Cœurs de Cuvée and Cuvée). Cuvée Prestige benefits from vinification without malolactic fermentation and maturing in oak barrels for an average 12 to 15 months. Eight years of blending then four to five years of cellar ageing refine this exceptional cuvée. The perfect balance between finesse, fruitiness and character make this a wine to be enjoyed at any time.

Blending: 50% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Noir and 25% Meunier (Vallée de la Marne terroir).

Merveilles

Premier Cru

Extra-Brut

This Rosé Champagne comes from a vine plot classified as Premier Cru on the Vertus terroir. In order to enable the exceptional blossoming of the flavours, the vinification technique known as "de Saignée" is used, a method that has practically died out today in the Champagne region. The alcoholic fermentation and maturing take place in oak barrels without malolactic fermentation. After several years of ageing in the bottle in our cellars, this cuvée is ready to be enjoyed, and will surprise you with its power and the originality of its fruitiness: a true marvel!

Essentiel 2012

Zero Dosage

"Considering the rich body of this vintage, I decided against the chaptalization and dosage of this cuvée, making Essentiel 2012 a champagne with no added sugar. This keeps it closer to nature, to its terroir, free of artifice. To enable the exceptional blossoming of its flavours, I leave it to rest for an extra two years after disgorging, following ageing in the cellar. When opening, you will therefore find a small cork which attests to this long waiting period, and does nothing to alter the quality of the champagne. No need for long speeches: let's cut to the chase with Essentiel 2012!"

Blending: 50% Chardonnay, 25% Meunier, 25% Pinot Noir, vinification and ageing in oak barrels without malolactic fermentation.

Archives Millésimée 2012

Numbered bottles produced in limited series

Deriving from the Cœurs de Cuvée from the 2012 harvest of the terroirs of the Côte des Blancs (Grand Cru) and the Vallée de la Marne, this cuvée is vinified and matured in oak barrels for 30 months on the lee, without malolactic fermentation or filtration, after the fashion of our ancestors. In the Champagne tradition of centuries past, a cork stopper with staple is put in place upon bottling, and will be kept throughout the entire ageing on racks, enabling micro-oxygenation of the wine, to help guarantee long conservation. This Cuvée d’exception can be consumed right now, but can also be aged for many more years in the calm and darkness of a temperate cellar.

Blending: 80% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Noir.

Terres de Meunier

Côteaux Champenois Rouge
