Champagne Brut Nature
Soirée d'Hiver en Pays Aubois

The Champagne Soirée d’Hiver en Pays Aubois by Alizée and Thibault Tassin was conceived as an identity-driven narrative of the Côte des Bar, where the young couple reinterprets with contemporary sensitivity the family winemaking tradition of Celles-sur-Ource. The clay-limestone soils of the Pays Aubois give the Pinot Noir—a symbolic grape of this southern Champagne territory—depth, tension, and a mineral vibration reflected in an intimate and contemplative cuvée, conceived as an homage to the slow time of winter and the patience of maturation.

This edition, the fruit of the 2022 harvest, comes from selected plots between Celles-sur-Ource and Essoyes, picked and vinified separately to preserve the personality of each terroir. Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts and approximately 12 months of aging in used oak barrels help shape a pure and essential profile, where complexity intertwines with transparency. After tirage, the wine rests over two years under cork before disgorgement without final dosage (Brut Nature). Every detail of the process is designed to convey integrity and finesse, in line with the Domaine’s artisanal philosophy.

On the palate, Soirée d’Hiver en Pays Aubois reveals notes of ripe red apple, toasted hazelnut, and spiced bread, enriched by mineral and smoky nuances that deepen its complexity. The taste is succulent and linear, driven by a saline tension that supports the creamy texture of the Pinot Noir. The finish is long, vibrant, and finely chiseled, sustained by a sharp freshness that balances the material and leads to a clean, refined close.

A strictly limited edition of only 6,195 bottles, it stands as tangible proof of a micro-production project that makes precision and expressive sincerity its defining traits. A Champagne of character and contemplation, uniting sensitivity, purity, and essential elegance.
