Aromatic profile
The structure of this champagne
Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
The extra brut style delivers a crisp, cutting acidity, carried by the natural freshness of Chardonnay from Damery.
Roundness
Time in oak barrels imparts a velvety texture that tempers the wine's vivacity.
Power
The sun-drenched 2019 vintage and oxidative vinification lend the wine a genuine aromatic density.
Length
Toasty and fruity notes linger at length over a mineral backdrop, the hallmark of Damery's terroir.
TASTING NOTES
A golden robe with green glints and a fine, persistent bead. The nose is delicate and herbaceous, weaving together gentian, verbena and lime blossom before opening onto buttery, toasty nuances — a clear mark of oak barrel ageing. On the palate, the wine is lively and precise, driven by a fresh acidity, with notes of papaya and lightly candied mango over a persistent mineral backbone.

Terroirs
Sourced exclusively from vines in Damery in the Vallée de la Marne, on south-facing slopes farmed using sustainable viticulture. Vines of around forty years old lend a distinctive depth and minerality to this single-village assemblage.
About this house
Established in Damery in the Vallée de la Marne for seven generations, the house of Maurice Choppin is today led by Benjamin Choppin. Across 6.5 hectares of vineyards cultivated without chemical inputs, he practises ploughing, zero treatments and effluent recycling.
All cuvées are vinified and aged in 600-litre oak barrels, with spontaneous fermentation using indigenous yeasts and natural malolactic conversion, followed by ageing on lees for at least 30 months — a rare artisan signature in Champagne.
Food pairing
The perfect pairing
Between the champagne and its dish
Aperitif
The wine's extra brut vivacity and herbaceous character shine alongside the light, golden bite of cheese gougères.
Starter
The Chardonnay's freshness and the citrus notes on the nose complement herb-cured salmon gravlax to perfection.
Main Course
The wine's rounded texture and oak-derived toasty aromas pair naturally with the earthy richness of morel mushrooms.
