Champagne Ruppert-Leroy
Les Cognaux

The Champagne Les Cognaux by Ruppert-Leroy is a pure Blanc de Noirs, made from 100% Pinot Noir sourced from the namesake Lieu-Dit located in Essoyes, in the heart of the Côte des Bar. The name “Cognaux”, which in the local dialect means “little corner”, evokes the intimacy and natural vocation of this parcel, selected as early as the 1980s for its privileged position and distinctive soil. The vineyard stretches along a hillside with a south/southeast exposure, characterized by grey clay and a rich presence of marine fossils—a combination that gives the wine saline energy and deep minerality. Cultivated according to the principles of certified biodynamic viticulture, the approach in the vineyard is holistic: it integrates on-site animal farming, the use of natural preparations, and soil management focused on promoting biodiversity and ecosystem balance.

Based on the 2022 harvestLes Cognaux is vinified with full respect for the integrity of the fruit: spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeastsno fining or filtration, and 9 months of aging in wood, between 225-liter barriques and 500-liter demi-muids, during which natural malolactic fermentation also takes place. After tirage, the wine is aged at least 18 months on its lees, before manual disgorgement à la volée, with no liqueur de tirage and no added sulfites, in keeping with the brut nature style.

On tasting, Les Cognaux reveals a complex and refined nose, with notes of red applecitrusbrioche, and dried fruit. On the palate, it is tensepure, supported by lively acidity and an elegant mineral texture, leading to a long, dry, and persistent finish.

This Blanc de Noirs Champagne is the clearest expression of the Essoyes terroir and fully reflects the philosophy of Ruppert-Leroy: a lively and authentic wine, free from artifices, that tells the truth of the soil with transparencyenergy, and character.

Winery

Champagne Ruppert-Leroy

The Domaine Ruppert-Leroy is located in Essoyes, in the heart of the Côte des Bar, one of the emerging areas of Champagne. Founded in 1998 by Emmanuel Ruppert and Bénédicte Leroy, the Domaine is now a reference point for those seeking authentic Champagne. Its approach is based on practices of natural and biodynamic viticulture, certified since 2014. The vines are planted on clay and limestone soils, which give the wines a unique minerality. The Domaine cultivates small parcels in different areas of the Côte des Bar, showcasing the potential of varieties such as Pinot Noirand Chardonnay.

The work in the vineyard is crucial for the quality of the cuvées from Ruppert-Leroy. The approach is completely respectful of the terroir and free from intensive or chemical agricultural practices. The agricultural management integrates compost production, animal husbandry, and the use of biodynamic preparations. This self-sufficient agricultural ecosystem is the foundation for producing wines that faithfully reflect the terroir. Each individual parcel is treated with the utmost care to preserve biodiversity and the natural balance of the soil, allowing the plants to fully express their potential.

In the cellar, the approach is artisanal and minimalist. Spontaneous fermentation occurs with indigenous yeasts, with no addition of commercial yeasts, clarification, or filtration. The wines are aged in wooden barrels, including 225-liter barriques and 500-liter demi-muids, to ensure complexity and finesse. Each cuvée follows the Brut Nature philosophy, with no addition of sulfites or liqueur de tirage, allowing the wine to remain pure and transparent. The result is Champagne appreciated for its freshness, elegance, and the ability to reflect the authenticity of the terroir.
