Champagne Brut Nature
Minuscule Zéro Dosage

The Champagne Minuscule by Jean-Marie Massonnot is a tribute to the simplicity of nature and the art of enhancing small details. In this project, the vigneron celebrates the pure territorial expression of Coulommes-la-Montagne, a Premier Cru village in the Montagne de Reims, where biodiversity and respect for natural cycles guide every decision in the vineyard and the cellar. The idea behind Minuscule is to convey, with artisanal sensitivity, the most authentic essence of the three great Champagne grape varieties.

This Zéro Dosage edition is crafted from a blend of 40% Meunier, 35% Chardonnay, and 25% Pinot Noir, using grapes sourced from Premier Cru parcels surrounding the village. The 2020 base vintage is complemented by reserve wines from 2018 and 2019, adding depth and aromatic complexity. Vinification and fermentation take place entirely in stainless steel vats, preserving freshness and precision. After tirage, the wine ages for at least 42 months on the lees, developing balance and finesse. The absence of final dosage, in a Brut Nature style, highlights the transparency and mineral tension of its profile.

On the palate, Minuscule Zéro Dosage reveals a luminous and vibrant character, with notes of white flowers, fresh citrus, and dried fruits merging with hints of bread crust and chalk. The taste is linear and taut, carried by a fine and consistent effervescence. The harmony between freshness and volume gives the wine depth and rhythm, finishing on a saline and persistent note that elegantly reflects the precise, artisanal signature of Jean-Marie Massonnot.
