Le Bruyant Coteaux is the version " without bubbles " of the champagne of the same name.
Etienne and Anne wanted to create here a fun wine, a convivial wine, for them the ultimate expression of an organic and dynamic wine:

"It is the bottle you will open on a summer evening on the terrace in the shade of the vines in the evening with homemade pâtés, chaource and epoisse, tomatoes from the garden, a nice slice of homemade bread, chicken breast marinated and cooked in the embers of the vines. This is the wine of friends, as we have always understood it in the family. We only produce 300 bottles a year, but we just wish they would bring out 300 smiles and a little more when shared."

Lukas FEB23 (Vint. 2019): In the nose quite spicy with hints of garam marsala and cumin, in the background some ripe vineyard peach. In the mouth juicy with primarilly citrus and peach notes, hints of juicy peach on the finish. Very animating, with nicely integrated acidity that provides very good drinking flow and draught.
