Frédéric and Rodolphe look after 8 hectares of vines mainly in Hermonville. Traditionally they sold all their grapes to the big houses, but in 2005 they decided to start their own business. Frédéric (standing left) spent some time with Anselme Selosse and no doubt this has had a profound impact on his philosophy towards wine making. All the wines are fermented and aged in barrel with long ageing and malo-lactic fermentation is blocked for all the cuvées. About 70% of barrels are 5 years or older. Rodolphe and Frédéric have some interesting terroirs to work with. The upper hills are covered in sand-loam soil while the lower areas are loam, clay and sand. These well-draining soils contain high levels of minerals. Current production is about 15,000 bottles per year and slowly increasing. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood suggestion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeeping it simple is a lost art in food pairing.

Frédéric and Rodolphe look after 8 hectares of vines mainly in Hermonville. Traditionally they sold all their grapes to the big houses, but in 2005 they decided to start their own business. Frédéric (standing left) spent some time with Anselme Selosse and no doubt this has had a profound impact on his philosophy towards wine making. All the wines are fermented and aged in barrel with long ageing and malo-lactic fermentation is blocked for all the cuvées. About 70% of barrels are 5 years or older. Rodolphe and Frédéric have some interesting terroirs to work with. The upper hills are covered in sand-loam soil while the lower areas are loam, clay and sand. These well-draining soils contain high levels of minerals.

Every cuvée sings its aspiration of ‘precision, purity and minerality’, each speaking articulately of its place in the northern Côte des Blancs through expressive, chalky minerality, without one molecule of detail out of place. With high-strung tension, crystalline structure and rapier-sharp precision, these are blanc de blancs champagnes charged with an energy that will sustain them long indeed. They represent some of the best-value apéritif champagnes of all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood suggestion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e"}

The wine only ages for 6 months in both of these vessels and then rests on its lees for up to 36 months, rounding out the body and adding some palate weight to it. This is predominantly Aÿ pinot noir at 80% and the rest chardonnay. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLifted red apple, some rose petal notes. Delicate and vibrant with lots of expression. The palate is light and fresh with fleshy white peach fruit. The concrete eggs are more porous than oak allowing a little more oxygen into the wine.

Located in Aÿ, the former capital of wine growing in the Champagne region, as it produced red wines of distinction. Aÿ is a grand cru village, famed for its powerful pinot noir fruit and is also the home of Bollinger, Deutz and Gosset. This is a unique family run maison and has an individual style and a focus on the use of barrel especially from the Argonne Forest, and more recently, clay amphora and concrete eggs. In fact they are aiming to be the first champagne house to move away completely from the use of stainless steel and devote its entire production to oak. Owner Claude Giraud believes in ‘terroir in the forest’ and has worked relentlessly for almost 30 years, understanding this relationship. He created a cuvee named ‘Fût du Chêne’ which embodies this idea. All pinot noir, fermented and aged in barrel.
