TASTING NOTES

A luminous golden robe with amber highlights, fine and persistent bubbles. Complex, ripe nose weaving together candied citrus, golden brioche and the characteristic chalky mineral notes of the Côte des Blancs. On the palate, a silky, well-structured texture evolves towards roasted dried fruits and toasted bread, with a long, fresh finish of lemon and menthol.

The composition

About this house

Established in Vertus for four generations, the René Rutat estate tends 7 hectares across 28 parcels on the chalky limestone soils of the Premier Cru of the Côte des Blancs. Today, Flavien and Baptiste Rutat — the fifth generation — carry forward the art of artisan Champagne with an unwavering commitment to terroir expression.

Dedicated to responsible viticulture, the estate began its conversion to organic farming in 2016 and achieved full Agriculture Biologique (AB) certification in 2019. Each cuvée reflects their deeply held conviction that the quality of Vertus' soils is the primary source of their Champagnes' aromatic character.
