Champagne Brut Nature
Nature V21

The Champagne Brut Nature by Rémi Leroy originates in Meurville, in the southern sector of the Côte des Bar, a territory marked by strong geological identity, where Kimmeridgian clay-limestone soils provide ideal conditions for precision viticulture. Rémi Leroy’s vision is deeply artisanal and focused on a faithful interpretation of both vineyard and vintage, with meticulous work in the vines and a measured, essential cellar approach, free from stylistic excess, aimed at producing Champagnes defined by tension, balance, and expressive clarity.

This edition is based on the 2021 harvest, complemented by 30% vin de réserve, and results from an assemblage in which Pinot Noir plays a leading role (60%), supported by Chardonnay (35%) and a minor proportion of Meunier (5%). Vinification involves gentle pressing and fermentations carried out in a combination of stainless steel and oak barrels, with malolactic fermentation completed. After tirage, the wine undergoes 24 months of ageing on the lees and, at disgorgement, no dosage is added, defining a clear Brut Nature style.

In tasting, this Brut Nature shows a bright straw-yellow colour with a fine, continuous perlage. The aromatic profile is precise and restrained, revealing notes of white-fleshed fruit, ripe citrus, subtle hints of hazelnut, and mineral nuances. On the palate, the attack is taut and direct, supported by vibrant freshness and a saline texture that guides the progression. The structure is linear and well balanced, finishing dry, clean, and persistent, fully consistent with Rémi Leroy’s rigorous, terroir-driven interpretation of Brut Nature Champagne.
