René Geoffroy Lieu-Dit "Les Houtrants complantés" Premier Cru Brut Nature
Pinot Noir, Meunier, Chardonnay, Arbane and Petit Meslier (Field Blend)Dosage 0g/lFrom the single vineyard Les Houtrants in CumièresAged in stainless steelBottle ageing: At least 4 yearsPerpetuum Reserve since 2008, aged under corkNicola MRZ26: Super exciting cuvée, highly aromatic and fresh at the same time, great presence, body, balanced, great creamy roasted notes, a hint of honey, character, strong!Tilman MRZ26: Layered, complex, fresh, each grape variety plays its part, vibrant, fascinating!Tilman AUG24: Rather reserved on the nose and dominated by white grape varieties, slightly floral, citrusy, a hint of grapefruit. Initially extremely fresh on the palate, almost sparkling, with striking acidity, but this quickly integrates into a more mature aroma, a hint of brioche, accompanied by increasing red fruitiness and spice. It has power and pushes across the palate, but in the end it nestles wonderfully and lingers for a long time. Wow! It will certainly be exciting to follow this over a longer period of time (both in the glass and in the bottle).

It is a blend of old vineyards (40 years old to over 100 years old) on this very special terroir, considered by all as one of the two greatest historic villages of the Côte des Blancs. Its silky texture, elegance and depth are unique. With 12 hectares of Grand Cru, we have never made a cuvée from 100% Grand Cru. Our philosophy of champagne making has always led us to add a touch of "Cuis 1er cru" to give freshness to our great vintages, because we prefer harmony to intensity. Since the 2012 vintage, we have decided to expand our range; the iconic "Grands Terroirs de Chardonnay" are complemented by 3 "Single Terroirs" in very limited quantities.

René Geoffroy Millésime 2012 Terre Extra Brut
53% Chardonnay, 32% Pinot Noir, 15% MeunierDosage 4g/lMeunier from the single vineyard Les Tiersaudes in CúmieresAged in 600l wooden barrelsBottle ageing: at least 10 yearsUnfiltered bottling, no malolactic fermentation, aged under cork, vines approx. 50 years oldJP Geoffroy: The complex nose reveals aromas of red and black currants and cherries, mingling with delicate hints of wood ageing, underpinned by vanilla, cinnamon and pear. Furthermore, citrus fruits (lemon, mandarin), peach and roasted apricots. The aromas on the palate are initially pure and of enormous density, interrupted by a hearty minerality. Then the Chardonnay presents itself with its palette of butter brioche and toast notes, which transition into coffee and chocolate.Nicola OKT23: Terre 12 is a monument! Really strong, the acidity is not as present as in 08, initially a very light touch of honey, but then the beautiful freshness and perfectly integrated acidity fade into the background and culminate in a radiant, sublime finish – wonderful!Tasting FEB20 (About vintage 2010): Extremely complex, perfectly developed, currently still few tertiary aromas (aromas that develop during maturation such as dried fruit, nuts, cocoa, leather, etc.), very lively aromatics, powerful, spice, incredibly sparkling complexity. The freshness bubbles into the brain and provides a reboot!

Les Non-Dits Implicite 2018
33% Chardonnay, 33% Pinot Noir, 33% MeunierDosage: 1.2g/litre Joint project of the winegrowers Doyard, Huré Freres and Sélèque Chardonnay by Guillaume Doyard from the Les Gaumes parcel in Vertus and Les Mesnil-sur-Oger Grand Cru, planted in 1981 and 2004, east and north-east exposure. Chalk soils with fine clay inclusions Pinot Noir from François and Pierre Huré: La Perthe parcel in Ludes 1er Cru, planted in 1983. 40cm of sandy loam on yellow chalk with sand inclusions, then white chalk at depth. Well aerated plot Meunier by Jean-Marc Sélèque: Les Gouttes d'Or parcel in Pierry 1er Cru, planted between 1951 and 1968. Clayey silt from the Cuisien with a strong presence of flint limestone. Subsoil of chalk from Campania at a depth of 50 cm. South-east facing with a 12% slope at the foot of the hill Vinification on the respective vineyard in wooden barrels on fine lees for 8 months5 years bottle ageing in the Huré Freres cellar under natural corkLes Non-Dits: "Born from the idea of Charles, a friend who left too soon... This cuvée is the bond of friendship between three winegrowers, each of whom brings their most beautiful parcel to the blend: a Chardonnay from the heart of the Côte des Blancs from Guillaume Doyard, a racy Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims Nord from Huré Frères and an elegant and refreshing Meunier from the Coteaux Sud d'Epernay from Jean-Marc Sélèque. This cuvée is produced so that the wine can express its Champagne roots over a longer period of time. The assemblage allows the achieved balance of the terroirs to shine, the wine becomes more important than the winemakers who mould it."

David Leclapart L’Artiste '20 - Bio
100% ChardonnayDosage: 0g/lThe terroir plays a special role here: deep-rooted Chardonnay vines from various 1er Cru plots give Léclapart the opportunity to let not only the purist of his cellar work, but also the original of the vineyard speak from his Champagne - soil and rock. Vinification takes place in equal parts in used barriques and in enamel tanks. Equipped with Zero Dosage, this Chardonnay masterfully conveys the style of the House of Léclapart.The fact that Léclapart was only able to harvest very small quantities over several vintages due to weather conditions underscores just how great the challenges are in Champagne for winemakers working organically and biodynamically. Therefore, we had to wait until 2024 for the next vintage of L'Artiste! L'Artiste is made from Chardonnay from vines 30 to 50 years old. The specific plot from which this wine comes varies from year to year. Léclapart calls this cuvée "a discovery of terroir": he is not looking for a specific expression here, but wants to learn more about the terroir of Trépail. Peter Liem: L’Artiste, is generally made from chardonnay vines between 30 and 50 years old, but the particular parcels vary from year to year. Léclapart calls this cuvée “a discovery of terroir”: “I’m not looking for anything in particular,” he says. “I’m just trying to learn about the terroir of Trépail.” Half of the wine for L’Artiste is vinified in old barriques, while the other half is made in enameled steel.
