Empreinte de Terroir Brut

The family enterprise is in Côte de Sezanne and is run today by siblings Thomas, Vincent and Florent. Up until 1973, their father made his wine in a cooperative but their five hectares of vineyards with their chalky soil and east-southeast exposure, cultivated mostly with Chardonnay, soon became a Récoltant Manipulant project. The precision in the winery is surprising, with 16 stainless steel vats to allow each parcel to be fermented separately, 52 fût de chêne and 6 foudre. Wood is used to enhance the most expressive micro-parcels and also plays a role in the blending with 46% of the wine having matured in wood (25% in small barrels and 21% in large wines.

Empreinte is a cuvée based on the 2015 harvest but with 47% from the 2014 one and is a blend of 67% Chardonnay and 33% Pinot Noir. It was given a dosage of 7g/l because malolactic fermentation was only carried out in part (on 80% of the total). This is a surprising and engaging Champagne with a personality that is distinct and elegant at the same time with a refined freshness and a complex aroma of floral scents and tropical fruit, a defined and harmonious structure and a finish that brings together the purity of citron, almonds and a return of white flowers.
