This complex grower Champagne is a multi-vintage Brut Nature blending pinot meunier, chardonnay, and pinot noir from three soil plots. Winemaker Timothée Stroebel co-ferments harvests spanning different seasons using native wild yeasts inside large oak barrels. The liquid undergoes a complete malolactic conversion and matures for thirty-six months on its fine lees in wood, avoiding filtration or cold stabilization. This low-intervention process focuses on structural integration, allowing the sand, chalk, and clay expressions to voice themselves cleanly.

It pours a luminous gold hue, releasing a rich bouquet of yellow orchard fruits, fresh honey, and toasted bread. On the palate, the medium-bodied frame balances an aged complexity with a youthful, bright stream of bubbles. A clean line of natural acidity cuts right through the waxy texture, keeping the fluid mouthfeel thoroughly refreshed. Notes of nuts and a distinct chalky minerality add a savory depth across the tongue.

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.
