This wine originates from Rouvres-les-Vignes, an area of excellence located in the Champagne region.

The roots delve into deep Kimmeridgian clay and limestone soils, a geological matrix that gives the Champagne its precise taste identity and a marked saline imprint. The cool environment of the area enhances the vibrancy of the citrus aromas and ensures a taut, linear structure.

The subsequent refermentation in the bottle takes place without any addition of sugar in the final dosage, maintaining the essence of Brut Nature. The result is a dry and vertical sparkling wine, capable of offering a harmonious pairing with raw seafood, sushi, and refined vegetarian dishes.

The vineyard of 3,40 hectares, is managed with sustainable cultivation on higher Kimmeridgian clay-limestone soil where grape varieties, soils and specific plots of land express themselves naturally. Together with different methods of winemaking, they produce a variety of vintages.
I work in sustainable farming, with a small production. The goal is to place my wines in networks where the clientele is oenophile and confidential, to give the wine its dimension of singularity and exception.
It is possible to love a wine simply by appreciating the person who made it. Behind every label there is a winemaker and it is essential not to disassociate the two. Of course, the soils have a considerable influence and in each territory, in each municipality, the winemaker makes the difference between their wine and their neighbor’s. Read more
