Huré Frères
Invitation, Insouciance, Inattendue, Instantanée, Inspiration - the cuvée names at Champagne Huré Frères betray a preference for the I. What they don't reveal: In the cellars of Ludes lies a solera that has been bottled without interruption since 1982. Over 40 vintages flow into each other here, guarded by three generations. François and Pierre, the two brothers, have turned the family vineyard in the Montagne de Reims into one of the most exciting addresses for terroir champagne - without ever losing their grip on the ground.
More about Huré Frères
The I dynasty
What began in 1960, when Georges Huré gave in to the persistent dreams of his wife Jeanne and bought a winery, is now a third-generation family business. In 1971, the three sons - including Raoul - took over and gave the house its name: Huré Frères. François, Raoul's son, has been at the helm since 2008. He studied in Dijon, worked at Jean-Pierre Fleury - the biodynamic pioneer of Champagne - and gained experience in Australia and New Zealand. In 2012, he brought his brother Pierre on board: since then, Pierre has been looking after the 10 hectares of Premier Cru vineyards in Ludes and Villedommange, while François pulls the strings in the cellar.
40 years in a jar
The Cuvée Mémoire is the liquid memory of the house. Since 1982, the solera has been supplemented year after year with the best wine - never emptied, always extended. The result is a champagne that over 30 vintages The flavours are united: brioche, dried fruit, an almost sherry-like depth, yet always lively. It is the kind of complexity that cannot be planned - it only comes from patience. A similar principle is followed Bonnet-Ponson with its Cuvée Perpétuelle.
Four elements, three grape varieties
While most champagne houses rely on assemblage, the 4 Éléments series The opposite approach: each grape variety is harvested from a single plot and vinified separately. The 4 éléments Chardonnay comes from Les Blanches Voies, the Pinot Noir from La Perthe, the Pinot Meunier from La Grosse Pierre. Three bottles, three grape varieties, three terroirs - if you taste them side by side, you suddenly understand what the blend normally conceals: Chardonnay brings chalk and citrus, Pinot Noir the structure, Meunier the juicy fruit.
From Ludes into the world
The vineyards are spread across different terroirs: Ludes in the east of the Montagne de Reims with its calcareous-clayey soils produces elegant, storable wines. Villedommange on the west side brings fullness and balance. In the Ardre Valley - Brouillet, Serzy, Prin - the cooler climate ensures freshness. The Invitation, the entry-level champagne, combines all these sites in a blend of 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Pinot Meunier and 20% Chardonnay - three years on the lees, without dosage sweetness. This is what Champagne tastes like when it is made by people who cultivate their own vineyards.
