Producer Information

Remi Leroy grew up in Meurville, a small town in the Cote des Bar. He trained as a oenologist and agricultural engineer in Bordeaux before taking over his 9ha family estate. In the past the family sold all their grapes to large houses, but Remi now vinifies around a third of the crop under his own label. The Aube area marks the southern extreme of the Champagne region, geographically and geologically it’s closer to neighbour Chablis, and also sits on the Kimmeridgian chain. Grapes are pressed straight into small steel tanks and oak barrels after picking, and left to settle naturally before fermentation with natural yeasts. This gentle handling reduces oxidation and allows him to use very low SO2 additions. The wines undergo malolactic fermentation, base wines aren’t fined or filtered. He leaves wines for an extended time on lees. He picks grapes when they’re fully ripe which allows him to use very low dosages across his Champagnes. The bottled wines rest for a further few months after they are disgorged so are ready to drink on release.
