Organic Champagne from the southern Sézannais — richer and more generous than you'd expect, with the clay soils doing a lot of the talking. Zero dosage, 30 months on lees.
Chardonnay, Pinot Noir • Extra Brut • Organic • Zero dosage
Loïc Barrat and Aurélie Masson left the family cooperative in 2010 to make their own wines on 7 hectares of organically farmed vines in Villenauxe-la-Grande. The name Grain d'Argile — grain of clay — is a direct reference to the soils that set the Sézannais apart: more clay than chalk compared to the Côte des Blancs, giving the wines a riper, more vinous quality without losing freshness. This blend is 50% Chardonnay, 50% Pinot Noir, with 70% from the 2020 harvest and 30% from 2019. Hand-harvested, pressed parcel by parcel in a traditional Coquard press, fermented with native yeasts in a mix of stainless steel and old oak, aged 30 months on lees. Disgorged November 2022, zero dosage.
Serious Champagne at a price that doesn't ask you to think twice about opening it.
