The name says it all. The term "guinguette" in French typically refers to a type of venue located near Paris or along rivers, where a relaxed and informal atmosphere, good food, drinks, and live music reign supreme. It's no coincidence, then, that this Champagne is the perfect embodiment of conviviality and lightheartedness. The grapes, a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Gris, and Petit Meslier, were harvested in the generous 2022 harvest. The must undergoes initial fermentation in steel tanks sur lie and then ages sur lattes until disgorgement in November 2024. A Champagne with great aromatic breadth and vibrant freshness, with a taut and delicately saline finish. Drinkability is guaranteed.

The Le Celles-Lès-Condé Autre Cru "Les Echaudèes" from Rousseaux-Batteux is an interesting expression of Champagne, with a particular focus on Pinot Meunier, which represents 100% of the cuvée. The vines, with an age of 40 years, grow in the prestigious cru of Celles-Lès-Condé, known for its microclimate and soil favorable to viticulture. The choice to ferment in oak barrels gives the wine complexity and depth, while the 14-month aging in wood helps to further develop its aromas and give it an elegant structure. The relatively low dosage of 2-3 g/l underlines the intent to maintain the purity and authenticity of the wine, allowing the character of Pinot Meunier to express itself at its best. This Champagne has typical fruity and floral notes, with a fine texture and freshness that make it suitable both for an aperitif and to accompany more elaborate dishes. The care and attention that the producers dedicate to this Champagne reflects a winemaking tradition that enhances terroir and variety.

The Champagne Grand Cru "Blanc de Noirs" Extra Brut from Rousseaux-Batteux is a fascinating wine that embodies the expressiveness and complexity of Pinot Noir, grown in the prestigious Grand Cru area of Verzenay. The choice to make wine practically in oak barrels gives the wine a unique depth and character, enriching the aromatic bouquet with complex tones of ripe fruit and spices. The long maturation on the yeasts for approximately 20 months before disgorgement allows the champagne to develop a particular creaminess and finesse, while maintaining a lively freshness, typical of Extra Brut. The low sugar dosage, located between 5-6 g/l, further enhances the purity of the wine and its ability to express the unique terroir of the region.

Les Terres Jaunes by Aurélien Lemaire is undoubtedly a Champagne that represents a meeting between art and winemaking passion. With only 2,304 bottles produced, this wine stands out for its authenticity and the winemaker's rigorous and uncompromising production philosophy. The 2019 harvest, coming from the lieu dit of the same name, is the result of meticulous work: the grapes are pressed and transferred directly into barriques and demi-muids for an 11-month refinement, without any batonnage, followed by a long rest of 2 years on fine lees. This process, combined with the absence of dosage, allows the freshness and purity of the wine to emerge in all their expression. Furthermore, the label, beautifully illustrated by Robin Guinin, reflects the attention to detail and aesthetics that characterize Aurélien Lemaire's entire project. This Champagne is a sensorial experience that speaks of terroir, tradition and innovation. Without a doubt, an emerging producer to keep an eye on in the future of viticulture.
