In the glass
Colour
Fine gold with a delicate copper shimmer and a lively, persistent mousse.
Nose
Ripe red berries such as cherry and raspberry, alongside brioche, nuts and a cool, chalky minerality with fine herbal notes.
Palate
Dry and precise, with taut acidity, a creamy texture from the long lees ageing and a saline, deep finish – entirely without dosage.
Character
A powerful, mineral-driven Blanc de Noirs with crystalline clarity and unexpected depth – terroir in the glass rather than sugar.
Pairing
Elevated after-work cooking: duck breast with cherries, mushroom risotto or mature Comté.
Notes
Brut Nature without any dosage, single-varietal Pinot Noir from south-east-facing vineyard sites; the estate has been organically certified since 2017 and ages all its vintage Champagnes on the lees for at least five years – considerably longer than the statutory three.
Tasting note
Character
A Blanc de Noirs of rather quiet stature: cool, chalky precision meets the reddish fruit and body of Pinot Noir. Thanks to at least five years on the lees – the law requires only three – the 2020 displays a creamy, finely woven texture, while the absence of dosage keeps the wine linear, sober and of crystalline clarity. No charmer, but a Champagne that speaks its soil.
Terroir & Origin
Noé-les-Mallets in the Côte des Bar, the southern outpost of Champagne – closer to Auxerre than to Reims. The vines stand on Kimmeridgian limestone, that fossil-rich rock which also defines Chablis; within its layers slumber oysters 150 million years old. South-east-facing slopes between 280 and 320 metres in altitude lend the Pinot Noir a mineral tension rarely found in the north of the region.
Grape Variety & Vinification
Pure Pinot Noir, vintage Champagne and exclusively Brut Nature – without any dosage whatsoever. Delphine Brulez, agricultural engineer and fourth-generation oenologist of the house founded in 1910, ferments the musts with wild yeasts in used Burgundy barrels and divides the pressing into an unusually fine four passes. Organic-certified since 2017 (practised since 2011), with gentle Simonit-Sirch pruning and measurably living soils: the mycorrhizal share rose from 18 to 70 per cent.
Food Pairings
The austere precision and fine Pinot depth call for substance without heaviness: cured Arctic char, tuna tartare or oysters mirror the chalky minerality. Also wonderful with Comté and Chaource – the cheese of the region – as well as with mushroom terrine or a simple roast chicken breast with herbs. A Champagne for the table, not just for the aperitif shelf: it opens up in the glass and gains depth sip by sip for those who drink it slowly.
