The production of the Le Cépage magnum (2021 harvest) Adrien Renoir

The Le Cépage cuvée (2021 harvest) is made from Pinot Noir grapes from the Grand Cru terroir of Verzy, nestled in the Montagne de Reims. The old vines, rooted in clay-limestone soils, give this cuvée a unique structure and minerality.

The grapes from the 2021 harvest were vinified in oak barrels with indigenous yeasts, promoting spontaneous fermentation. After aging on lees in the estate's cellars, the cuvée achieves remarkable complexity. Unfiltered and unclarified, this champagne retains all the purity of the grape variety. Finally, the low dosage, this is an Extra Brut cuvée, highlights its natural balance and freshness.

The 2021 vintage

The 2021 vintage in Champagne was marked by varied weather conditions, allowing the grapes to ripen evenly. The Pinot Noir grapes from Verzy, in particular, stand out for their depth and aromatic intensity, while their natural acidity preserves the sparkling liveliness that is the hallmark of this delicate vintage.
