Conversion to organic viticulture

Objective of a clean and viable vineyard This transition period will last three years before certification is obtained. This concerns both work in the vineyard and work in the winery. From a technical point of view, this does not radically change the way we manage the soil or the maintenance of our vines, because for 6 years already we do not use herbicides and are engaged in reasoned viticulture (natural grassing, adaptation of phytosanitary treatments according to the meteo, planting of trees and roses in our vineyard, etc.). We want to respect our terroir even more and have the will to limit the impact of our health and those of our customers. Our leitmotiv: “through wine, we perceive the landscape” to transmit to the 7th generation a cleaner and more sustainable exploitation in time. We will keep you updated on our conversion, stay tuned!

A new vintage for 2022!

A new vintage for 2022 ! For 3 years now, lightning made of Hautvillers oak sits at the heart of our vat. We wanted to evolve the tastes so characteristic of our champagnes by sublimating them by the noble essence that is the oak. 2018 was an exceptional year for us because of its memorable harvest but also because of the birth of our first child: Anna-Hyun. A unique opportunity to create a cuvée revealing the character of this special year. The 2018 «Soleil» vintage is as warm on the nose as it is refreshing on the palate. D4a nice length in boouche, we decided not to dose it in sugars and to let speak its natural fragrances. Described as «nature» or «zero dosage», this cuvée reveals a nose with well-guarded aromas, which reveal themselves as a secret unveiled in the mouth: fresh aromas of Chinese pomelos mixed with wild rose flowers, underlined by a light woody aroma. A cuvée full of elegance and delicacy that reveals all its power when it meets our palate. Those who know our little girl will know that this description also suits her perfectly! Collection of 2 200 bottles. Available at the domain or on our online shop.

Why oak for our M&T collection?

Since 2012, our House vinifies micro-cuvées in Burgundy oak barrels (228L) and Champagne (205L). 3 vintages are born from this long aging: the cuvée Prémices, the cuvée II and the cuvée III. But why this specific collection? Today, with all the other existing materials, the use of oak is more a choice than a necessity. We want to give the wine characteristic aromas and flavors. By making different heaters for each barrel, our cooper allows us to develop very specific organoleptic characters. Our wine is then placed in the cask and gradually absorbs these flavors. The aging time is 11 months for each of our cuvées. The longer the breeding time, the more woody flavours appear. Did you recognize in our cuvée II sweet notes of spices and vanilla? In our cuvée III, notes of almonds and pastries? The vinification in oak cask brings to our wines an intense and deep gold color but above all a new complexity and elegance in our champagne range. A cuvée IV is being created, stay tuned!
