“A Blanc de Blancs embodied by grace, shaped by the land”.
Minerality as a signature,
elegance as a given.
She is a woman who embodies this Blanc de Blancs, made exclusively from Chardonnay, a grape renowned for its floral, feminine, and delicate notes. Young and slender, she personifies the vibrant freshness of wines grown on pure chalk soils, combined with the mouthfeel and length characteristic of the Premier Cru terroirs of Villers-Marmery, revealed through more than 36 months of aging on lees. Tailored trousers and high heels form an ensemble of contemporary, confident elegance, reflecting the wine of which she is the muse.
This cuvée is shaped by the balanced exposure of east-facing slopes, marked by the unique minerality of chalky gravel—Villers-Marmery’s signature terroir. Her relaxed posture reveals the joyful and open character of the blend, where freshness and strength are harmoniously balanced with grace and natural ease.
The pairing of a young, refined woman with a slightly battered, convertible vintage Land Rover evokes a duality: the elegance of the figure contrasted with the ruggedness of the vehicle—an analogy for the delicate grape and its deep connection to the land. Driving such a car through the vineyards, hair in the wind, is an expression of strength and character, yet also of a profound bond with nature. Just like this cuvée.
A cuvée marrying the purity of Chardonnay
with the memory of its terroirs.
Tasting this Champagne is akin to exploring our parcels as an attentive passenger. One senses the vibration of the earth under the wheels, the slope of the hills, the sunlight illuminating the orientation of the plots—and in every sip, the elements of the terroir reveal themselves. Like the imagery, it is the subtle balance between nature’s grace and power that guides this blend—a Champagne where minerality shines, freshness converses with depth, and the subtlety of aromas remains intimately tied to the land that nurtured them.
In this Blanc de Blancs, the elegance of the grape meets the strength of the terroir. A young, tall, and refined woman embodies it. Her contemporary poise mirrors the mineral vibrancy and finesse of this 100% Chardonnay, born from the chalky soils of Villers-Marmery. Beside her, a battered vintage Land Rover, symbol of strength and freedom, reflects a deep connection to the earth and nature. A cuvée where the elegance of the moment meets the power of place—a story of harmonious contrasts to be discovered and experienced. A Champagne as much to live as to taste.
