Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
The extra-brut style and the dominant Chardonnay impart a razor-sharp, luminous tension.
Roundness
Oak ageing and the Meunier contribute flesh and generous body.

A well-integrated oakiness and concentrated substance drawn from a singular terroir in Damery.
Length
The finish is persistent, marked by a chalky minerality and notes of butter.

TASTING NOTES

Pale gold in colour with glinting golden highlights, fine and persistent bubbles. On the nose, notes of white blossom, buttery brioche and toasted hazelnut reveal the oak ageing. On the palate, the attack is fresh and taut; the texture gradually rounds out to deliver a long, mineral finish of chalk and candied citrus.

Terroirs

Sourced exclusively from the vineyards of Damery, on the clay-limestone slopes of the Vallée de la Marne, this lieu-dit provides a homogeneous and expressive terroir, ideally suited to a structured Chardonnay and a finely fruited Meunier.

Maurice Choppin

About this house

Champagne Maurice Choppin is led by Benjamin Choppin, the seventh generation of a wine-growing family established in Damery, just a few kilometres from Épernay. The house philosophy rests on spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, ageing in oak barrels from the Tonnellerie de Champagne, and a non-filtered, unfined approach.

The cuvées explore the lieux-dits of Damery with extraordinary care — vinified in casks of 225 to 600 litres, on extended lees with spontaneous malolactic fermentation. A confidential and ambitious project, emblematic of an artisan Champagne in full renaissance.

The perfect pairing

Between the champagne and its dish
Aperitif

Aperitif

The tension of the extra-brut and its fine bubbles are a perfect match for the airy lightness of Comté gougères.

Starter

The citrus vivacity and integrated oak of the Chardonnay respond with elegance to the pepper and briny notes of sea bass.

Main course

Main course

The oak ageing and the roundness of the Meunier create a striking terroir pairing with the deep, earthy fragrance of morel mushrooms.
