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.

"Les Vignes de Montgueux" by Jacques Lassaigne is a lively Champagne, with aromas of dried fruit and citrus, supported by a straightforward acidity and good minerality. Produced with Chardonnay grapes, the base wine is aged in wooden barrels for 12 to 24 months, followed by the second fermentation in the bottle with a long stop on the lees before disgorgement.

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.
