Fire is warm, radiant, expansive and unpredictable. It is the transforming element by its warmth and versatile according to its intensity.

A bright, harmonious, invigorating cuvée that is made from old vines. This 100% Pinot Noir has been produced biodynamically with zero sulphites - and happens to be one of the best Blanc de Blancs we have tasted in a long time.

What to Expect

Fire is warm, radiant, expansive and unpredictable. It is the transforming element by its warmth and versatile according to its intensity.

Mature, sultry, salty nose straight away with more cooking spices like nutmeg, cinnamon bark and yellow plum or quince. The palate has body, depth and lots of salty-savoury plum. Talk about presence and energy, this is not shy in coming forward. Great texture and gentle acidity. This wine is more about mouth feel than fruit. Love it. - Kyri Christodoulou, Emperor Sommelier

About the House

Domaine Augustin is a family business, run today by Marc and Emmanuelle Augustin. Together they farm nine hectares of Premier Cru vineyards in the communes of Avenay Val D’or on the Montagne de Reims and Vertus in the Côte des Blancs.

Marc found himself with a land that was 'alive' resulting from the organic management of his father Jean, who courageously rejected man-made chemicals from the beginning.

They conveted to biodynamic viticulture in 2011 and are certified Demeter. In the winery they use a combination of wood, amphorae and concrete containers for the first fermentations and aging of the vins clairs. The first ferments are often wild and take place spontaneously and for the second fermentation in bottles we use the fine lees stored in a carboy - which is a large globular glass bottle with a narrow neck, dynamized before inoculation with raw sugar from biodynamic agriculture.
