Champagne Minière F&R

Franc de Pieds Millésime 2018

The Champagne Franc de Pieds by Minière is a rare and precious cuvée crafted from ungrafted vines, the so-called Francs de Pieds. The blend combines 75% Meunier grapes and 25% Chardonnay, sourced from the lieux-dits Les Fauvagnes and Les Rosières for the Meunier and Le Moineaux for the Chardonnay. An audacious and now almost vanished agronomic choice, capable of delivering a direct and authentic expression of the terroir.

This edition, Vintage 2018, is vinified in fûts de chêne, where the wine matures for eight months. After tirage, it undergoes a slow ageing on the lees for at least five years, completed by a dégorgement without final dosage, in Brut Nature style, designed to highlight purity of fruit, depth and mineral tension.

In tasting, Franc de Pieds Millésime 2018 reveals a bright golden colour and an exceptionally fine perlage. The aromatic profile recalls dried fruit, candied citrus, toasted notes and mineral nuances. On the palate it shows structure, energy and precision, with vibrant freshness and a long, saline finish of remarkable purity. Production in a limited run of 1920 bottles.

Minière F&R

The Domaine Minière F&R is located in Hermonville, in the Massif de Saint-Thierry, northwest of Reims, where vines have been cultivated since the 12th century. Founded in 1919 by Alfred Minière, the Domaine has preserved an outstanding viticultural heritage for four generations. Since 2005, brothers Frédéric and Rodolphe Minière have led the estate: Frédéric, trained at Domaine Jacques Selosse, oversees winemaking, while Rodolphe tends the vineyards with an approach grounded in sustainability and artisanal authenticity.


The vineyards stretch across a bright, well-exposed hillside, where loamy-sandy and clay-sandy soils force the roots to dig deep, yielding wines of density and minerality. The estate covers 2 hectares of Chardonnay, 1.5 hectares of Pinot Noir, and the rest Pinot Meunier, with an average vine age of 45 years and some plots of ungrafted vines. Viticulture is organic and sustainable, with natural cover crops, organic fertilization, and manual soil work. No chemical treatments are used: the Minière brothers favor gentle, natural methods to preserve soil vitality and ecological diversity.



In the cellar, the Minière style is defined by the exclusive use of oak barrels of various origins and sizes. After pressing, the musts ferment in barrique and remain 6–8 months on the lees, with bâtonnage adjusted to each vintage. Malolactic fermentation is avoided to retain freshness and tension, while the wines age 5–6 years for the non-vintage cuvées and over 10 years for the millésimes. The result is a collection of Champagnes of great finesse, depth, and precision, expressing both champenois spirit and modern sensibility.
