Champagne Extra Brut
Origine

The Champagne Origine by J.M. Goulard is born in the heart of the Massif de Saint-Thierry, a plateau northwest of Reims, historically dedicated to viticulture since the 6th century. In this unique terroir, characterized by sandy-clay and clay-limestone soils, the three emblematic grape varieties of the region – Meunier, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay – find an ideal environment to fully express their character. Here, a precision viticulture comes to life, supported by a certified organic and biodynamic approach.

“Origine” is much more than a cuvée: it is a conscious return to family roots, a tribute to the land of origin from which it takes its name. The winemaking is carried out by parcel, according to a respectful and artisanal production philosophy, with no chemical treatments. The wine comes from southeast-facing vineyards planted on sandy soils, and is made from a blend of 60% Meunier and 40% Pinot Noir, harvested during the 2021 and 2022 vintages. The careful use of oak and meticulous management of each stage of production help preserve the identity of the terroir, resulting in wines that express saline minerality, textural finesse, and natural balance. The Extra Brut dosage, set at 4 g/l, enhances a dry and vibrant profile, marked by a distinct iodine character and an elegant texture.

On tasting, Origine presents a bright straw yellow color with golden highlights and a fine, persistent perlage. On the nose, it is intense and precise, with mineral and iodine notes, accompanied by crisp white-fleshed fruit (green apple, pear, white peach), citrus, and delicate floral hints. On the palate, it is vibrant, structured, and direct, with energy and purity supported by an extremely elegant texture and a long, clean finish.

It is a contemporary Blanc de Noirs Champagne, with a precise character, capable of authentically expressing its origin, the vision of winemaker Damien Goulard, and the spirit of its terroir.
