The Making of Champagne Rive Gauche Rive Droite 2018 Marc Hébrart

The Rive Gauche Rive Droite 2018 vintage is the result of a blend of two iconic grape varieties: 50% Pinot Noir from the Grand Cru terroirs of Aÿ, on the right bank of the Marne, and 50% Chardonnay from the Grand Cru villages of Oiry, Chouilly, and Avize, located on the left bank. These terroirs, famous for their exposed chalk and clay-limestone soils, give this vintage remarkable minerality and great complexity.

The vinification is carried out in oak barrels with indigenous yeasts, without cold stabilization, to preserve the authenticity of the aromas. The vintage then benefits from 66 months of aging on the lees, allowing the full aromatic richness and elegance of this champagne to develop. Dosed as Extra Brut, with less than 5 g/l of sugar, this champagne brilliantly expresses the purity of its terroirs.

The 2018 Vintage

The 2018 vintage was marked by exceptional weather in Champagne. After a rainy winter, the spring and summer offered ideal conditions for perfect ripening of the grapes. The Pinot Noirs from Aÿ stood out for their intensity and richness, while the Chardonnays from the Grand Cru of the Côte des Blancs brought freshness and elegance. This vintage is recognized for its aromatic concentration and remarkable aging potential.
