It is since 1998 that this area of 8,40 hectares has passed into Bio Bynamie, asserting its respect for the land and vine. The Demeter mention represents the commitment of one area, and the wine growers who work there, to cultivate the land sustainably, without chemicals, in vines and in winemaking. Here, Pinot meunier is the most cultivated, with 78% grape grape varieties, followed by Chardonnay (13%) and Pinot noir (9%). The vineyard extends to it in different communes on both sides of the Marne: Crouttes-sur-Marne, Villiers-Saint-Denis, Nanteuil-sur-Marne… With an assemblage of new wines and reserve wines, the origin'Origin'is a blend of Pinot meunier to honour. Fine bubbles, nose of dry fruit and candied fruit, and in the mouth, a beautiful freshness on citrus fruits. A lively and tense wine that will lead to an aperitif. The Cuvée Between Sky and Earth shows real know-how in the assemblages, with 80% of Pinot meunier and 20% of Pinot Noir. The dosage, rather low, gives the wine its minéralité and white flower aromas. A fresh fresh and fine wine, which is available in crude and extra-crude (6 g/l and 3,5 g/l). To be enjoyed with a beautiful seafood platter, the evening on the beach.
