Sorry, there are no products in this collection
One of the more interesting producers of Champagne, Geoffroy makes champagnes worth talking about. Taking over the reins of this father Rene, Jean-Baptiste is a talented and passionate wine producer and his fanatical efforts in the vineyard followed by careful craftsmanship in the cellar have made him one of the most revered winemakers in the region.
Geoffroy is located in the Grand Cru region of Aÿ but the vineyards are located in Cumieres which is where the vineyard was located up until recently. Red fruit rules here in winemaking style which is as close to biodynamic as possible within committing to the rigors of certification. Champagnes that reflect a sense of place with real character and personality are what Geoffroy is known for. We love this producer.
Geoffroy - pushing the boundaries of Champagne
The Geoffroys have been involved in wine and champagne making since the 1700s. However, it wasn’t until the 1950s that the first family brand of sparkling wine, Roger Geoffroy, came to market after the family decided to produce their own wine, rather than just selling fruit to wineries.
The brand has enjoyed excellent success since Jean-Baptiste Geoffroy took the reins of the family estate. Such was the success of the brand, that Jean-Baptiste acquired a 19th-century property including an on-site cooperative winery in the village of Ay, in 2008, to facilitate growing demand for their champagnes.
Their numerous vineyards stretch more than 35km over the slopes of Damery, Hautvillers, Fleury-la-Rivière and Cumières, the small village in the Champagne region where the brand was originally born. The new champagne facility has enabled Jean-Baptiste Geoffroy to truly push boundaries and utilise a process that uses gravity to naturally transfer the juice of the grapes from the basket press to their fermentation tanks where batches are fermented in small lots. Some cuvees are also fermented in large, old, oak barrels to a distinct aroma and flavour.
Explore the Range – Geoffrey Champagne
We are deep admirers of the Geoffrey brand and specifically of Jean-Baptiste Geoffrey, who truly is one of the most passionate, innovative and dedicated winemakers one will ever encounter. Emperor are delighted to offer our clients a selection of Brut, Demi-Sec, Rosé, Ratafia and Vintage champagnes from the Geoffrey house. These include:
Geoffroy Expression NV Brut
Offering a refreshing, juicy palate and acidity, this Geoffrey Brut uses a majority of the pinot's (50% meunier and 30% noir) flavours and aromas, with red apple, black bramble fruits and soft plummy fruit all showing in every glass. Undoubtedly the most in-demand bottle from the Geoffroy brand, accounting for half of their market production.
Geoffroy Elixir
A sweet yet refreshingly clean demi-sec, offering a beautiful blend of baked apple and preserved lemon, finished with the gingery, biscuity, spice of its three and a half years bottle age and two year cork age. It’s lively, luxurious and truly unlike any champagne you have ever encountered.
Geoffroy Blanc de Rose Saignée
A vivid, fresh, and utterly marvellous rosé. Co-fermented with an even blend of pinot noir and chardonnay, all from 2012 and aged for 30 months on its lees. An orange and raspberry zest sits on opening, with the aromas becoming spicier as they make contact with air. Finished perfectly with a beautiful red berry and liquorice flavour, this Extra Brut Rosé is a bottle of champagne you will fall in love with.
Geoffroy Ratafia
Sample some ancient indulgence with our 200ml bottles of Geoffroy Ratafia. Each bottle is made with Pinot Noir and Meunier grape juice and combined with 60° proof 'fine de champagne' instead of industrial alcohol – following an ancient method that totally protects the aromas and flavours of the ingredients. The wine is aged for 8 months in oak barrels where it adopts a soft, round, luxurious flavour.
Geoffroy Empreinte Vintage '08
The Empreinte is one of Geoffroy’s signature wines. Offering a blend of Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay - all from Cumières – this is a vintage wine with striking and impressive flavours. It can be enjoyed young as even now it offers the ideal, indulgent balance.
