The Making of the Le Cépage (2021 Harvest) Magnum by Adrien Renoir

The Le Cépage (2021 harvest) cuvée is crafted from Pinot Noir grapes sourced from the Grand Cru terroir of Verzy, nestled on 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 fermentations. After aging on the 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, making it an Extra Brut cuvée, highlights its natural balance and freshness.

The 2021 Vintage

The 2021 vintage in Champagne was marked by varied climatic conditions, offering balanced maturation to the grapes. The Pinot Noirs from Verzy, in particular, stand out for their depth and aromatic intensity, while the natural acidity preserves a brilliant vivacity, the signature of this delicate vintage.
