Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
The dominance of Chardonnay instils a citrus-edged tension and chalky minerality typical of the Damery hillsides.
Roundness
Ageing in oak barrels brings a velvety suppleness that balances the austere character of the extra brut.
Richness
The warm, sun-drenched 2019 vintage lends the wine a beautiful aromatic maturity and a pronounced depth.
Length
The finish lingers on notes of toasted almond and white flowers, the hallmark of careful barrel ageing.

TASTING NOTES

A golden robe with straw highlights, showing a fine and persistent mousse. On the nose, an elegant bouquet of white flowers, white peach and candied citrus, lifted by delicate notes of brioche and hazelnut from the oak-barrel ageing. The palate opens with a lively, precise attack; the wine then unfolds along a taut, mineral thread, culminating in a long finish of almond and chalk.

Terroirs

Sourced exclusively from the vineyards of Damery on the south-facing slopes of the Vallée de la Marne, this clay-limestone terroir with a predominantly chalky subsoil lends the Chardonnay a sharply defined minerality and a lasting freshness. The wines are vinified separately in casks from the Tonnellerie de Champagne to fully express the character of the 2019 vintage.

Maurice Choppin

About this house

Rooted in Damery for more than seven generations, Maison Maurice Choppin embodies the art of the grower champagne in its purest form. Today steered by Benjamin Choppin, the estate draws on HVE-certified sustainable viticulture since 2018, relying on indigenous yeasts and minimal intervention to let the terroir speak for itself.

Every cuvée is vinified separately in casks from the Tonnellerie de Champagne, perpetuating a rare artisanal expertise in the region. The expression of terroir and vintage takes precedence over any standardised recipe — a philosophy that places Choppin among the most discreet and demanding independent growers in the Vallée de la Marne.

Its fine bubbles and near-zero dosage make this Damery 2019 the ideal companion to warm Comté gougères.

The chalky minerality and vivacity of the extra brut marry perfectly with the briny freshness of a salmon tartare.

The richness from barrel ageing is in beautiful harmony with the creamy, vegetal softness of a green asparagus risotto.
