Petit Meslier grape variety

Crafted in Les Riceys, in the heart of the Côte des Bar, this bubbly comes from a grower who farms his vines biodynamically and lets each parcel speak for itself. Pinot Noir leads the blend, joined by a touch of rarer varieties, all grown on Kimmeridgian limestone soils that give real mineral tension. Fermentation happens naturally with indigenous yeasts, and no dosage is added, so what you taste is pure fruit and chalky freshness. Expect red berries, citrus zest and a saline finish that keeps you coming back. Brilliant with oysters, roast poultry or simply poured among friends.

Imagine a still white from the heart of Verzy, where Mouzon-Leroux farms its grand cru slopes biodynamically, letting chalk and old vines speak for themselves. Here all seven Champagne grapes share the same plot and the same press, blended together in a single harmonious whole. The 2020 vintage brings ripe fruit, gentle citrus and a smoky, mineral edge that lingers long after the glass is empty. Fermented naturally and aged with patience, it feels textured, saline and beautifully alive. If you want to taste the region without the bubbles, you'll find it quietly thrilling with roast poultry, aged cheese or simply good company.
