About this Wine

The winery of Géraldine Lacourte and her husband Richard Desvignes is located in Écueil in the heart of the Petit Montagne de Reims. They concentrate entirely on the 1er Cru sites in this village, which means they have short distances and spend a lot of time in their vineyards. The farm was converted to organic viticulture in 2016. Both have seen a lot of the world and decided late in life to take over the winery from Géraldine's parents. Géraldine worked in marketing in Germany for many years, so the style of the winery is also rather modern. The base wines are fermented in stainless steel and do not necessarily undergo malolactic fermentation. Only a portion is matured in barriques. Very clear, precise and taut, they reflect their origins, always characterised by fine fruit and elegant depth.

The Brut Nature Premier Cru is a blend of 54 % Pinot Noir and 46 % Chardonnay with base wines from 2019 and 20 % reserve wines. The wine was aged on the lees for nine months and 66 % were matured in used wood before being bottled in July 2020. Disgorged on 6 March 2024, the dosage is 0 grams.

Wines from Champagne

Associated with luxury, celebration, Champagne is where the world’s most prized sparkling wine originates. In the past it was very common for people to confuse the term Champagne and sparkling wine as they are so synonymous. By EU law however, only sparkling wine made in the Champagne region and under strict quality standards can legally be called by that name.

Sparkling wine produced the Champagne way, goes through secondary fermentation in the bottle. This is known as méthode champenoise or outside of Champagne it is called the traditional method. When the yeast inside the bottle have finished working, they die and become lees. The lees remain in contact with the wine until the winemaker decides to take them out, creating texture, richness, and complexity in the wine.

In comparison, the other popular way of fermenting sparkling wine is called the Charmat method where the fermentation happens en masse in a large tank and extended lees contact does not happen. . This is cheaper and rather than emphasizing richness and complexity, the tank method enhances clean fruit and aromatics, making wines that are youthful and easy drinking.

The principal grapes that go into making champagne include: Chardonnay (white), Pinot Noir (red) and Pinot Meunier (red). A Champagne made exclusively from Chardonnay will be labelled Blanc de blancs while ones comprised of only red grapes will be called Blanc de noirs. Whether it be white or rose however, most Champagne is made from a mix of both red and white grapes.
