Found in the small village of Festigny, the Apollonis estate owns 7 hectares of vines comprising 20 or so separate plots planted for the most part with pinot meunier (80%), some chardonnay (18%) and a little pinot noir (2%). The estate has been awarded the high environmental value (HVE) certificate, the highest award recognizing respect and care for the land, the environment and its biodiversity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFestigny has relatively chalky soils for the Vallee de la Marne and the village itself lies in the warm valley, fully exposed to the sun. Within this valley is a solitary hill upon which the best vineyards of the village are located. With its steep slopes and a crown of trees on top, it is almost reminiscent of the hill of Corton in burgundy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe majority of this domaine’s vineyards are found surrounding this hill, planted on steep slopes in clay rich in marl and limestone. Only natural fertilizers are used to treat the vineyards (it’s been over a decade since Michel has eradicated all use of herbicides). Michel firmly believes that getting things right in the vineyard allows healthy grapes to be harvested, which enables minimal intervention in the winemaking process. Production is a mere 300 000 bottles a year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMusic in champagne\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Loriot’s wines show a rich vinosity, expressing the characters of both the meunier grape and of this section of the Marne’s left bank.

Along with the rebranding, he has renamed all of his cuvées as well, and the new collection comprises eight champagnes, grouped into three categories: Les Classiques, Les Mutines and Les Virtuoses.\" Peter Liem\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Apollonis","offers":[{"title":"Single","offer_id":40106144596077,"sku":"APOLLONIS_INSPIRATION","price":109.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Apollonis_Michel_Loriot_Inspiration_de_Saison_Extra_Brut_Millesime_2011_Box_emperor_champagne.jpg?v=1654665661"},{"product_id":"champagne-carbon-effect-blanc-de-blancs-millesime-15","title":"Champagne CARBON 'Effect' Blanc de Blancs Millésime '15","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Champagne CARBON","offers":[{"title":"750mL","offer_id":40360827813997,"sku":"CARBON-EFFECT-BDB-2015","price":375.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Carbon-Effect-BDB.jpg?v=1666311183"},{"product_id":"lacourte-godbillon-brut-rose-premier-cru","title":"Lacourte-Godbillon Brut Rosé Premier Cru","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lacourte-Godbillon","offers":[{"title":"750mL","offer_id":47589160517907,"sku":"LACOURTE_ROSE","price":129.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/files\/LacourteGodbillion-Rose.jpg?v=1700194616"},{"product_id":"ayala-collection-no-16","title":"Ayala Collection No 16","description":"\u003cp\u003eAyala Collection No 16 is the fascinating new release the esteemed maison Ayala, the little sister of Maison Bollinger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo 16 is the fourth Opus from the house and each release is different.

This chiselled wine offers a great complexity and a lengthy, saline finish.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eJulian Gout, Cellar Master\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ayala","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52173783662867,"sku":null,"price":249.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/files\/ayala_collection_16_champagne_market_wine_store.webp?v=1754888224"},{"product_id":"champagne-mouzon-leroux-latavique-tradition-nv","title":"Mouzon Leroux L'atavique Tradition NV","description":"","brand":"Mouzon-Leroux","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":52436783300883,"sku":null,"price":116.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/files\/ChampagneMouzonLerouxL_ataviqueTraditionNV.jpg?v=1759370243"},{"product_id":"laherte-freres-rose-de-meunier-extra-brut","title":"Laherte Freres Rosé de Meunier Extra Brut","description":"","brand":"Laherte Frères","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52654368719123,"sku":null,"price":125.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/files\/LaherteFrereRose_768x_77f5cf15-c423-4505-875e-df7d9b79a542_1.jpg?v=1788146384"},{"product_id":"collard-picard-racine","title":"Collard-Picard Racine","description":"","brand":"Collard Picard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52739553689875,"sku":null,"price":189.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/files\/1_0001_RacinesHD.jpg?v=1764232370"},{"product_id":"champagne-gaston-chiquet-tradition-brut-premier-cru","title":"Champagne Gaston Chiquet Tradition Brut Premier Cru","description":"","brand":"Gaston Chiquet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53989501632787,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/files\/champagne-chiquet-gaston-tradition-brut-premier-cru.webp?v=1774840708"},{"product_id":"champagne-francis-orban-millesime-2018","title":"Champagne Francis Orban Millésime 2018","description":"","brand":"Francis Orban","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":54201816252691,"sku":null,"price":188.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/files\/champagne-francis-orban-millesime-2018.jpg?v=1779689507"},{"product_id":"jerome-blin-les-ports-bio-bouteilles-zero-dosage","title":"Jérôme Blin Les Ports Bio Bouteilles Zero Dosage","description":"","brand":"Jerome Blin","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":54214764691731,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/files\/Copy-of-Untitled-16.jpg?v=1779940088"},{"product_id":"champagne-philippe-dechelle-cuvee-nude-brut-nature-millesime-2015","title":"Champagne Philippe Dechelle Cuvée Nude Brut Nature Millésime 2015","description":"","brand":"Philippe Dechelle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54522180206867,"sku":null,"price":139.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/files\/Nude_b9f75352-968b-4623-9d4d-e835920bbcbf.jpg?v=1785724132"}],"url":"https:\/\/emperorchampagne.com.au\/collections\/friday-frenzy.oembed","provider":"Emperor Champagne","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
