Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
Three Grand Cru and Premier Cru Blanc de Blancs cuvées lend a taut, mineral vivacity to the selection as a whole.
Roundness
The Fleury biodynamic Blanc de Noirs and the Choppin Les Arpents (85% Pinot Meunier) bring breadth and velvety generosity.
Power
Péhu Simonet's Face Nord — 70% Grand Cru Pinot Noir from Verzenay — anchors the selection with a commanding aromatic presence.
Length on the palate
The persistence of the Grand Cru cuvées (Éléonore Oger, Péhu Simonet Verzenay) ensures a finish that is both dignified and seemingly endless.

TASTING NOTES

The colour ranges from a crystalline pale gold in the Blanc de Blancs to a deeper amber gold in the Aube Blanc de Noirs, with fine, persistent bubbles running through every cuvée. On the nose, the selection unfolds a richly expressive aromatic spectrum: citrus, white blossom and chalk in the Chardonnays from the Côte des Blancs; red fruits and gentle spice in the biodynamic Pinot Noir from Fleury; golden apple and brioche notes in the low-dosage blends. On the palate, the tight bead reveals in turn the tensile precision of Vertus limestone, the depth of Verzenay's north-facing slopes, and the generous clay-limestone character of the Vallée de la Marne — six distinct registers, one stylistic thread: artisan, precise, alive.

Terroirs

This selection spans five of Champagne's great zones: the biodynamic Côte des Bar (Fleury, Courteron), the Côte des Blancs Premier Cru (Rutat, Vertus) and Grand Cru (Éléonore, Oger), the Montagne de Reims Grand Cru (Péhu Simonet, Verzenay), the Vallée de la Marne (Choppin, Damery), and the Vallée du Petit Morin (A. Bergère). Independent growers, organic and biodynamic commitments — the selection is a sensory atlas of the Champagne vineyard.

About this house

Pépites en Champagne is an artisan online wine merchant specialising in the discovery of independent Champagne growers. Every bottle is chosen for the authenticity of its terroir, the human commitment of its producer, and the precision of its winemaking — far removed from high-volume cuvées and standardised blends.

This signature offer — six bottles, six producers, five terroirs — embodies the house philosophy: guiding enthusiasts through the diversity of Champagne, from the Aube's Demeter-certified biodynamic Blanc de Noirs to the Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs of the Côte des Blancs, via an Extra-Brut Pinot Meunier from the Vallée de la Marne and the Grand Cru of Verzenay.

The mineral vivacity of the Blanc de Blancs and the delicacy of the bubbles come into their own alongside Comté gougères, for a festive and elegant opening to the table.

The citrus freshness of the Rutat Premier Cru and the Péhu Simonet Face Nord pairs naturally with the citrus and herb notes of a salmon gravlax — a classic, precise match.

The power of the Fleury biodynamic Blanc de Noirs and the depth of the Face Nord Grand Cru find their match in the nobility of a truffle-roasted poultry.
