Where it comes from
This Coteaux Champenois originates in Ambonnay, a renowned Champagne village historically dedicated to the production of still wines. The grapes come from old vines cultivated under biodynamic principles, focusing on the health of the agricultural ecosystem. The estate entrusts vineyard work to the use of horses, preserving the wellbeing of the land and avoiding soil compaction. Such agronomic rigour results in a wine with a taut and clean profile, where pronounced freshness is revealed with absolute naturalness.
How it is produced
The process begins with a direct pressing of the grapes, essential for extracting extremely clean musts. Afterwards, the liquid undergoes both fermentation and a period of maturation in barrels, an ideal approach to encourage the aromatic development of the blend. The skilful use of wood supports the flavour structure, building an elegant structure without compromising the fresh character of the fruit. This process delivers a harmonious glass, characterised by a clear sensory continuity between the nose and the palate.

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.
