Champagne Ruppert-Leroy was born in 2010 when Emmanuel and Bénédicte Leroy jumped at the chance to take over her parents organic 4ha domaine in the higher altitude reaches of the Aube, not far from Burgundy, and now work fully with biodynamics producing single vineyard, terroir driven wines that are bottled Brut Nature.

A perpetual solera, this is an assemblage of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from each of their parcels around Essoyes with wines from 2011-2020 in the solera.

The wine is fermented in old Burgundy barriques then aged 2 years in bottle sur-lattes and bottled brut nature.

Open and expressive with Jura-like notes on the nose from the solera, rhubarb, pepper and sweet spices on the palate, this is a perfect mix of old and young wines with enough lift for a lengthy mineral infused finish. A thought provoking expression of champagne.
