Five of Champagne's most serious young grower-producers got together in 2020 to make cider — and they make it the way they make Champagne. Flavien Nowack, Adrien Renoir, Bertrand Lapie, Antoine Bouvet and Quentin Paillard press organic and biodynamic apples in a traditional basket press, ferment in neutral oak for up to a year in an old Verzy cellar where Renoir's grandparents once made wine, and then trigger the bubbles in bottle with fresh juice instead of cane sugar — the same trick Pascal Agrapart uses for his Experience cuvée. It then sits on its lees a minimum of twelve months. The fruit comes from trees between 30 and 250 years old: before the First World War, orchards were a normal part of mixed farming here, until grapes turned out to pay better. This is a magnum of the dry apple bottling, and it drinks with the seriousness of the day job.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast pork with apples, raclette and boiled potatoes, buckwheat galettes with ham and gruyère, fried chicken, a washed-rind Époisses or Chaource, or a platter of oysters and mignonette.

Tasting Profile

Dry, with fine persistent bubbles and a bready, lees-driven depth that reads more like sparkling wine than orchard cider. Textured from the oak ferment. No sweetness at all.
