Champagne Vignon Rochelles-Potences 2020 (EN)
The Potences‑Rochelles cuvée embodies the purest expression of Chardonnay on a terroir traditionally dedicated to Pinot Noir. It offers a beautiful balance between floral elegance, fruity power, and chalky minerality, enhanced by barrel aging. Highly gastronomic, it gracefully complements seafood and refined dishes, and proves ideal as an aperitif.
An atypical, refined cuvée with outstanding ratings — a true “grand blanc on a terroir of noir.”

Tasting
A pure, crystalline wine, evoking warm stone, caviar lemon, citrus fruit and white peach skin. These aromas are echoed on the palate, along with elegant, integrated smokiness, aniseed and a hint of fennel. The finish is marked by iodine, a little aniseed and ginger, but above all a carpet of chalky minerality

Terroirs
Montagne de Reims
The terroir of Verzenay, classified as a Grand Cru, is located on the northern slopes of the Montagne de Reims. Although mainly planted with Pinot Noir, this exceptional terroir reveals a different facet when it is planted with Chardonnay. The "Potences" and "Rochelles" plots are planted on chalk and clay soils, offering ideal natural drainage and high minerality. The cool exposure and steep slopes contribute to a slow ripening of the grapes, favoring elegance, tension and aromatic precision. This rare terroir gives the cuvée a unique signature: fresh, saline and chiselled, marked by a beautiful verticality.
About this house
A family-run business founded in 1946 in Verzenay, in the heart of the Montagne de Reims, Maison Vignon cultivates 6.7 hectares of Grand Cru on chalky soils. It favors sustainable viticulture and artisanal winemaking, with little intervention to reveal the pure expression of terroir. Specializing in Pinot Noir, Vignon offers elegant, precise and authentic champagnes, a faithful reflection of their exceptional terroir.
