Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
The dominant Chardonnay grown on clay-limestone soils brings a citrus-edged tension and a lingering vivacity.
Roundness
Oak-barrel ageing and the Pinot Meunier component lend a broad, enveloping texture.
Power
Natural winemaking in barrel without filtration or fining reveals a dense, expressive substance.
Length
Thirty-six months on the lees develop a complex, mineral finish with accents of toasted hazelnut.

TASTING NOTES

Golden robe with green highlights, fine and persistent bubbles. Complex, open nose of white fruits — pear and white peach — lifted by delicate woody notes, toasted bread and chalk. The palate is simultaneously broad and taut, driven by the dry Extra-Brut style that underscores a beautiful chalky minerality and a long aromatic finish.

40%Pinot Meunier

Terroirs

A blend of parcels on the mid-slopes of the Vallée de la Marne — from the villages of Damery, Saint-Martin-d'Ablois, Vinay and Binson-et-Orquigny — where clay-limestone soils marry mineral depth with the freshness of terroir.

Maurice Choppin

About this house

Since 1712, the Choppin family has upheld a tradition of winemaking in Damery, at the heart of the Vallée de la Marne. Benjamin Choppin now steers the estate with uncompromising rigour: spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, ageing exclusively in oak barrels, zero chaptalization, zero filtration, zero fining.

Certified Haute Valeur Environnementale (HVE 3) since 2018, the estate produces cuvées of rare integrity in Champagne — an unvarnished expression of the Marne terroir, underpinned by thoughtful viticulture and a craftsman's approach to winemaking.

Food pairing

The perfect pairing

Between the champagne and its dish
Aperitif

Aperitif

The dryness of the Extra-Brut and its fine bubbles cleanse the palate and sharpen the appetite alongside golden, freshly baked gougères.

Starter

The vivacity of the Chardonnay and the citrus notes of natural winemaking pair beautifully with the freshness of a salmon gravlax.

Main course

Main course

The woody aromas and roundness of the barrel-aged Pinot Meunier echo the deep umami character of morels in a creamy risotto.
