coteaux champenois
A PURE EXPRESSION OF THE TERROIR
With its two Coteaux Champenois, Saint-Philibert reveals another dimension of Champagne: that of still wines, without effervescence, borne by the purity of the place.
The white wine to start with, made from a 4900 m2 parcel of Chardonnay in Festigny, planted in the south-facing clayey limestone soil of the Le Vigneux lieu-dit.
Then the red wine, made with Pinot Noir, taking root in Venteuil on sunny limestone slopes.
Both these wines, matured in wooden barrels for between 11 and 22 months, embody the profound bond between vine and soil, in a sincere expression of the 2022 vintage.
They reflect our desire to capture the imprint of the terroir with precision, and offer a direct, sensitive and rare interpretation of the Marne valley's landscapes.
Festigny - Le Vigneux
This gem, a 100% Chardonnay wine, comes exclusively from Vigneux, a lieu-dit in Festigny.
Our 4900 m2 of Chardonnay vines grown on this clayey soil produce strong full-bodied wines.
Matured in demi-muids (traditional French 600-litre oak barrels), this wine offers a zesty nose, a subtle mix of white flowers and citrus fruit. On the palate, a surprising complexity with notes of toast, lemon and bergamot.
This is an elegant, complex and fruity wine.
Venteuil - LeS PlantS l'arangot
Made with 100% Pinot Noir, this wine comes from our precious parcel of Venteuil, the Plants L’Arangot, planted since 1969 in a chalky south-facing terroir.
A symbol of excellence and elegance, this exceptional parcel reveals remarkable keeping potential and good tension.
This Coteau Champenois Rouge charms with its subtlety and complexity. On the nose, a harmonious blend of aromas of black berries and cherry, while the palate reveals an exquisite crispness and irresistible self-indulgence.
