Vincent Cuillier farms a tiny slice of his family's domaine on the Massif de St-Thierry near Reims, and his terroir is unusual for Champagne: soils with a remarkably high percentage of sand, laced with fossilized palm, which give his wines real finesse. Blanc de Sable (white of sand) is named for exactly that, a 100% Chardonnay made with regenerative, near-natural farming, native-yeast fermentation, no fining or filtration, and bottled bone-dry with zero dosage. The 2021 is taut, pure and chalky-fine, hand-disgorged and built for the table. A distinctive grower Champagne with a genuine sense of place.

"The 2021 Brut Nature Blanc de Sable is soft, understated and creamy. This is an especially finessed style of Chardonnay with no hard edges. Intensely floral aromatics meld into a core of citrus fruit. All the elements are so nicely balanced. There's so much to like. All that is missing is a bit of depth in the mid-palate. No dosage." —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!
