TERROIR wines

An expression of the Montagne de Reims terroir

Through these Champagne wines, we aim at introducing you to the terroir of Ludes and its surroundings. 

They comprise four single-vineyard cuvées and the Solera cuvée, crafted from a blend of wines from different vintages.

THE SINGLE-VINEYARD CUVÉES

These four cuvées are built around four defining elements: one plot, one grape variety, one vintage, and one winemaking approach.

Lieu-dit "Les Grimpants"
Extra-Brut - Premier Cru
Vintage 2020

On the sunlit slopes of Ludes, the Les Grimpants parcel benefits from a south-west-facing exposure, ideal for Pinot Noir. Its distinctive terroir, characterised by silt over chalk, lends the wine remarkable intensity and elegance.

Generous aromas of white fruit and hazelnut, a fine structure and a subtly oaked finish reveal the full potential of this unique parcel.

THE SOLERA CUVÉE

The Solera Meunier cuvée reveals the full richness of Ludes’ terroir through a blend of wines from different vintages, maintained over time using the perpetual reserve method.

Solera Meunier
100% Meunier
Brut Nature Non dosé - Premier Cru
Réserve Perpetuelle started in 2015
The Solera Meunier cuvée is made from a perpetual reserve started in 2015. Each year, we blend wines from the harvest ofand from our perpetual reserve, kept in the oldest concrete vat on the estate. Vinification by “solera” allows the young and mature wines to pass on their particularities to enhance each other.

This champagne embodies the notion of transmission and symbolises the hyphen that links each generation, the pillar of our family estate. In this cuvée, pride of place is given to the Meunier grape from the Ludes terroir, on the Montagne de Reims facing north. The Meunier vines are planted on chalk with a fine layer of clay, giving the wine a great minerality.
