Champagne Mathilde Savoye
Binôme

The Champagne Binôme by Mathilde Savoye is the result of an identitarian blend composed of 70% Meunier and 30% Chardonnay, sourced from the Lieu-dit «Les Vieux Fossés», in the village of Cuchery, located in the Vallée de la Marne. The vines, planted in 1991 and 2016, embody a perfect balance between the maturity of older plants and the vigor of younger ones. The harvested grapes fully express the complexity of a terroir characterized by clay-limestone and clay-rich silt soils, which give the wine both depth and structure.

The blend of the 2021 and 2022 harvests is vinified in stainless steel tanks, with minimal intervention and a strong focus on varietal expression. The wine matures on its lees for at least 24 months, while the Extra Brut dosage of just 3 g/l preserves its natural energy, enhancing tension and stylistic purity.

On the palate, Binôme shows a fine and persistent mousse. The bouquet reveals fruity and floral tones, with notes of ripe pear, white flowers, and a delicate citrus hint. The mouthfeel is fresh and vibrant, supported by a saline texture and an elegant, long, and mineral finish that precisely reflects the essence of its terroir.

Champagne Mathilde Savoye

Mathilde Savoye is a young winemaker daughter of Champagne winemakers. In 2017, in La Neuville-aux-Larris, municipality of the Vallée de la Marne, she founded her own winery (Savoye Et Filles) in her name, which she manages personally. Mathilde mainly cultivates Meunier, the favorite vine of the area (58.6% of the total vines) which is well suited to the weather conditions of the Vallée de la Marne, where oceanic and continental influences collide, resulting in winter frosts, abundant spring rains and cool summers. The terroir, with a marly tendency, is characterized by silt, clay and sands that condition the character of the softer and fresher Champagne, especially suitable for balancing the cuvées. Little appreciated in the past, Meunier is experiencing a recovery in recent years and many producers, including Mathilde, choose to vinify it on their own to bring out its potential. Enterprising and determined, Mathilde Savoye is dedicated to production practices that lead her to clash with traditional practices and break away from the family Domaine, opting for more sustainable choices such as the return to plowing and the abandonment of herbicides.
