Ruppert-Leroy, Champagne Brut Nature Fosse Grely, 2020 is a remarkable biodynamic Champagne that exemplifies the purity and expression of its terroir. Made from a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, this cuvée is produced without dosage, allowing the natural vibrancy and character of the grapes to shine. 

Fosse Grely is the largest parcel at the domaine, and was the first one planted by Bénédicte's father, Gérard, in the 1980s.  A sélection massale planting at the bottom of the hill in Essoyes, the site's clay-limestone soils, contributes to the wine’s mineral-driven backbone and complexity.

On the nose, this Brut Nature opens with aromas of ripe orchard fruits like pear and apple, accompanied by subtle floral notes and a hint of spice. The palate is lively and fresh, with flavors of citrus, stone fruits, and a distinct chalky minerality. The wine’s bright acidity and fine bubbles lead to a long, crisp finish that is both invigorating and refined.

This Champagne pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, from fresh seafood and oysters to creamy cheeses and charcuterie. The Ruppert-Leroy family’s commitment to biodynamic farming and natural winemaking methods is evident in the precision and authenticity of this cuvée, making it a standout choice for Champagne enthusiasts seeking a pure and unadulterated expression of the region.

The story of Ruppert-Leroy is quite charming. The main character is Benedictine Ruppert, who learned to make wine from Bertrand Gautherot at Vouette & Sorbée (with a lesson or two from Pierre Overnoy thrown in!). She inherited some vines from her Dad and also planted a few in a pasture in the Aube where her family raises sheep. Today she has about four hectares of vines and farms biodynamically. There are still some sheep running about.

All the wines she produces are single vineyard (aside from the solera) and made with no dosage or sulfur.

Champagne

Champagne boasts some of the world’s greatest luxury brands with Krug, Cristal and, of course, Dom Perignon. But it’s also home to hundreds of small dynamic producers—farmers who grow their own grapes (often organically) and make (often with natural methods) tiny amounts of pure and absolutely delicious wine that reflect the individual personalities of their villages and terroirs. Toast with these wines, for sure. But also treat them like the great wines they are: taste, drink, explore!
