Chalk tells stories. Vincent Cuillier's No.2 Blanc de Blancs from the Montagne de Reims writes one in pure Chardonnay. This is the terroir-specific expression you've been searching for—100% Chardonnay from the region historically celebrated for its elegant whites. South-facing exposures at higher elevation ensure that natural acidity remains sharp and bright. The Extra Brut dosage (minimal residual sugar) allows the wine's mineral voice to sing unencumbered. Three years aging sur lattes, hand disgorged, unfined and unfiltered. The result is a Blanc de Blancs of remarkable delicacy: think white flowers, lemon zest, oyster shell minerality. This wine embodies the elegance that chalk can express when left to its own devices. For those who understand that refinement isn't about power, but about precision.

"The 2021 Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Montagne de Reims No. 2, from vines in Villers-Marmery, is bright and very nicely sculpted. Lemon peel, white flowers, dried herbs, chalk and white pepper all race out of the glass. This Blanc de Blancs really sizzles with tension and salivating energy. The No.2 is the only wine in the range that incorporates some purchased fruit. Bottled with no dosage. Disgorged: March 2025; multiple disgorgements throughout the year." —Antonio Galloni

More about Vincent Cuillier

Champagne is often framed as a region defined by tradition, but its most compelling energy today comes from growers who are quietly rethinking how vines, land, and wine relate to one another. Vincent Cuillier, one of the most exciting young growers on the scene, embodies this approach. He’s a farmer-first Champagne grower whose work we have been following for the last few years and who seems poised for a breakout moment.

Cuillier tends vines in the village of Pouillon, in the Massif de Saint-Thierry on the northern edge of the Montagne de Reims. Though still overseeing production for his family’s Champagne Cuillier label, since 2015 Vincent has been isolating what he considers his most unique and expressive parcels to bottle, in minuscule quantities, under his own name.

His guiding phrase, “fait à la main par nature” (“handmade by nature”), captures that philosophy precisely. Cuillier’s viticulture is rooted in regenerative farming, with full cover crops, low- to no-till practices, and homemade composts designed to increase soil life and organic matter. Most notably, he has embraced vitiforestry, the intentional integration of trees within the vineyards. Cuillier views the vine as one of agriculture’s most sensitive plants, thriving best when it exists as part of a complex, balanced ecosystem rather than being forced into a monoculture.

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!
