Crafted from Grand Cru parcels in Cramant and Avize, Minéral is a laser-focused Blanc de Blancs grown on pure chalk soils that deliver remarkable tension, saline minerality, and precision. 

From two prized vineyard parcels - Bionnes in Cramant and Champbouton in Avize - Minéral is a stunning example of Chardonnay Champagne grown on pure chalk soils.

These Grand Cru sites feature a thin topsoil layer over deep chalk subsoil, a terroir renowned for producing mineral-rich, precise Champagne.

A portion of the base wine is fermented in oak barrels, adding subtle complexity, creamy texture, and depth. The extended lees aging in bottle enhances the profile with delicate notes of brioche, butter, and almond, while preserving the purity of the chalky minerality.

Decanter | 95 Points

"This must be one of the most beguiling and refined 2018s from the Côte des Blancs, managing to retain a tensile, nuanced and detailed complexity in a year that can sometimes be a bit simple. From some of the estate’s chalkiest, shallowest soils, Minéral impresses by setting white peach, bitter almond and dried flowers in a lithe, persistent frame full of leapfrogging details of slate, umami savour and apricot kernel richness, dancing over a long, detailed finish. Terrific. 2024 - 2028"
