Champagne Puzzle by Ruppert-Leroy is a Cuvée Éphémère – meaning a cuvée created under exceptional circumstances – born in response to the challenging 2021 harvest, compromised by a devastating spring frost that severely affected the vineyards of the Côte des Bar. To avoid giving up on the vintage, Bénédicte and Emmanuel Leroychose to blend grapes from their own plots with parcels generously offered by fellow vignerons, all practicing organic viticulture, fully aligned with the Domaine’s philosophy.
The winemaking follows the natural approach typical of all Ruppert-Leroy Champagnes: spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, no fining or filtration, and a long maturation on the lees in 225-liter barriques and 500-liter demi-muids for about 9 months. After tirage, the wine further ages for at least 18 months on its lees, before manual disgorgement à la volée, with no addition of sulfites or liqueur de tirage. The result is a Brut Nature that is sincere and vibrant, elegantly expressing the resilience of the vintage.
On tasting, Puzzle opens with delicate notes of white flowers, ripe white fruit, citrus, and a subtle mineral trace. The palate is tense and vibrant, with bright freshness, a fine and lively mousse, and a clean, dry, and savory finish. A Champagne with a pure and contemporary soul, capable of conveying genuine emotion.
Produced in just 4,000 bottles, Puzzle is a rare and meaningful cuvée that reflects Ruppert-Leroy’s artisanal and environmental commitment, and their ability to turn hardship into a creative opportunity.
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.
