Description

Champagne Lointier
Millésime 2016

The Champagne Millésime 2016 represents the first vintage signed by Jean-Baptiste Lointier and it is a Blanc de Noirs from 100% Pinot Noir grapes selected in the Lieu-Dit ‘Les Gueuvaines’, located near the village of Gland in the Vallée de la Marne. The 2016 vintage was vinified in used barrels, which bring depth and complexity without altering the freshness and purity of the fruit. After ageing for 11 months before a second fermentation in the bottle, the wine rested for over 72 months on the lees, developing an elegant and harmonious aromatic profile. The final dosage of just 1.5 g/l - making it an Extra Brut - preserves tension and balance, offering an authentic and sophisticated expression of the terroir of origin.

The Champagne Millésime 2016 stands out for its bold and structured character, combining evolved notes and vibrant freshness in perfect balance. Leavened and ripe scents emerge on the nose, while the palate expresses itself with great vivacity and depth, revealing the typical honeyed note beloved of Lointier. Its texture is solid and incisive, still evolving in the bottle, but already capable of blending harmoniously. It requires time to express itself fully, but its complexity and the interplay between freshness and maturity make it an intriguing Champagne Blanc de Noirs to be discovered slowly.

Winery

Champagne Lointier

Lointier is based in Crézancy, a village located in the western part of the Vallée de la Marne. It is little known but immersed in an area rich in history and winemaking tradition. Its vineyards are located in the villages of Brasles and Gland, where the clay-limestone soils and gentle south-facing slopes offer ideal conditions for growing a Meunier of great expression.

With a production of around 4,000 bottles a year, Lointier is a true Champagne ‘garagist’: its cellar, located beneath the house, reflects an intimate, artisanal approach. Together with his wife Hélène, Jean-Baptiste follows organic and sustainable practices, excluding all chemical treatments. Their passion for nature and beekeeping translates into a tribute to bees, both in the labels of the cuvées and in the production of mixed-flower honey.

Vinification takes place in wooden barrels of various origins, as well as amphorae and vats, with spontaneous fermentation and minimal intervention. Without filtration or clarification, the Champagnes by Lointier express purity, energy and authenticity, with crisp fruit and a surprising saline tension. Some cuvées include a portion of ‘tailles’ (second pressing) to add structure and vinosity. Each bottle is a direct mirror of the soil, with no compromise, resulting in Champagnes with an essential and vibrant character.
