The Stroebel Pour Toi Champagne 17/18 is a complex and expressive Brut Nature, offering a nuanced bouquet of ripe orchard fruit, apricot, and honey, complemented by savory notes of burnt bread, mushroom, and chalky minerality. Vinified in old oak barrels with minimal intervention, this blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay from Premier Cru vineyards showcases a rich, creamy texture and a vibrant acidity that drives a long, layered finish. A wine of significant character and elegance, it is a testament to its dual-vintage origin and "non-interventionist" winemaking philosophy.

Timothée’s family came from Alsace and settled in Champagne after the Second World War. Vineyards were planted in the early 60’s in Villers Allerand, a small 1er cru village tucked in Montagne de Reims, where they still farm today.

Two generations later, Timothée had the dream to produce his own Champagne from the plots planted by his grandfather. After studying wine in Beaune and working in Burgundy, Timothée slowly got back the plots that were divided between the family members. 

Installation was done in steps: 2001 the vineyards; 2005 the first wines were produced. The domain encompasses the three known Champagne varieties: Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. 

From the vintage 2018, all the wines are barrel aged, and he is working towards bigger size barrels starting from 400L. The alcoholic and malolactic fermentation happens naturally, wines are not cold stabilized and there is no dosage nor filtration.
