The production of Le Cépage (2021 harvest) Adrien Renoir

Le Cépage (2021 harvest) is made exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes from the Grand Cru terroir of Verzy, located on the prestigious Montagne de Reims. The grapes come from old vines rooted in clay-limestone soils. These grapes bring remarkable minerality and structure.

The grapes from the 2021 harvest were vinified in oak barrels, with spontaneous fermentation using indigenous yeasts. The wines are aged on lees for 24 months in the estate's cellars. This aging brings richness and aromatic complexity. The minimalist approach, without clarification or filtration, preserves all the purity of the grape variety. Finally, this cuvée has been lightly dosed as Extra Brut, offering a perfect balance between freshness and intensity.
