On the palate, it reveals a refined and delicate profile, able to express the raw material with balance. The sip is measured and smooth, characterised by an extremely harmonious texture that encapsulates the soul of the region.
Where it comes from
The grapes come from Ambonnay, in the heart of the Coteaux Champenois. The vineyards stretch across the Les Tourés and Le Terme Bazin plots, where the chalky soils shape the local identity.

This sensitive approach results in a clean sip, where the terroir emerges through defined fruit aromas and a measured flavour profile.

In the cellar, the grapes are handled without crushing, using whole bunches to preserve aromatic definition. Fermentation is followed by nineteen months of ageing in barrels, consolidating the structure while respecting the Pinot Noir. The result is a limited edition, a faithful and vibrant expression of its origin.

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.
