About this wine
Character
A Champagne that does without dosage and shows exactly that: pure tension, crisp acidity, a saline length. The bright-fruited notes carry through from the nose to the finish, supported by a wine-like texture from the oak ageing.
Terroir and origin
La Source rises from the spring vineyard above Neuville-sur-Seine in the Côte des Bar, the southern part of Champagne with chalk-rich soils. Raphaël Piconnet and Hannah took over the family estate in 2015 and immediately converted it to organic farming. Their eight hectares of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier lie in Neuville-sur-Seine and Gyé-sur-Seine, on the slopes above the meandering Seine.
Grape variety and vinification
A blend of roughly 50 percent Pinot Noir, 40 percent Chardonnay and 10 percent Meunier from the 2022 vintage, which is not declared on the label. 60 percent of the base wine fermented in stainless steel, 40 percent in used barriques, with wild yeasts; the wine then aged entirely in used Burgundian oak barrels. Every bottle matures at least 24 months on the lees. Disgorged in February 2025 with 0 grams of dosage, 12.0% ABV.
On the palate
The opening feels almost austere in its tautness, then citrus freshness and crisp acidity merge with a smooth, wine-like texture. Lemon, grapefruit and a bright stone-fruit note remain dominant, and the finish stays long and faintly saline.
Highlights
Every Champagne from the estate is bottled as Brut Nature, without any correction. Sulphur, if used at all, is kept to a minimum; there is no fining, no stabilisation and no filtration. Here in a 1500 ml magnum.
