What to expect

- New arrival on Emperor Champagne!

- Boutique Champagne house in the Côte des Bar

- Subtle and silky style of Brut nature that has plenty to offer

This is an introduction into Remi’s wines and a closer look shows that this was fermented using natural yeasts in 85% stainless (remainder in older oak), with full malo and then three years on lees. All his wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Expect notes of almond, citron biscuit and red cherry which then switches to a core of green apple freshness. We love the beautiful balance and finesse here. Rémi has quickly become one of the top vignerons to watch in Champagne and we are delighted to have him as part of the Emperor offering.

Technical details

100% Chardonnay quite unusual from this producer!! Bottled in May without filtration and NO dosage, hence Brut Nature. Disgorged December 2021.
