Where it comes from
This wine originates in France, in the Champagne region, and comes from vineyards classified as Grand Cru. The character of the terroir is expressed in Chardonnay grapes, which give the wine impeccable elegance and balance. The soil and climate impart superior quality to the grapes, which, thanks to vinification without added sugars, translates into a genuine territorial imprint free from embellishments.
How it is produced
Crafted according to the Traditional Method, the wine undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle, a process that gives it its typical finesse. The decision not to add dosage defines its Brut Nature identity, preserving its natural tension and acidity. The result is a sparkling wine with a clean finish, ideal for accompanying starters, sushi and shellfish. It also proves to be an excellent gastronomic companion for fried fish and cheese boards.

The domaine tends old vines with an average age of around 40 years, spread across two of the most renowned terroirs of the Montagne de Reims:
8 total estate-owned hectares:
7.30 hectares in Ambonnay, distributed among the renowned crus Les Saints Remys, Les Beurys, Les Crayères, La Grande Ruelle, Les Bermonts, and Le Parc
0.70 hectares in Bouzy, divided between the Les Loges and Les Hannepés parcels
In the vineyard, every practice adheres to certified Organic and Demeter ecological and holistic principles.
Since 2010, soil tilling has been carried out exclusively with horses to avoid tractor-induced soil compaction, protect wild flora, preserve biodiversity, and connect directly with the chalk subsoil.
Vine care and defense rely on herbal macerations, infusions, and decoctions, complemented by the targeted use of essential oils, completely excluding synthetic chemicals.
In the cellar, vinification follows the natural energy of the raw fruit without invasive intervention, utilizing gentle, natural methods:
Gravity-fed transfers: Musts and base wines are moved by natural fall to minimize mechanical stress.
Aging and naturopathic approach: Significant emphasis is placed on extended lees aging and on the wine's energetic balance.
Expressive purity: The primary objective is to enhance the chalky minerality and authentic identity of each individual parcel and vintage—a principle epitomized by the Sapience range, the famed prestige cuvée crafted from certified organic grapes.
