Alcohol: 12.5%
Grape(s): 100% Pinot Meunier
Location: Champagne, France
Tasting Notes: Medium golden yellow with silver reflections and a fine, persistent mousse. Fresh yellow tropical fruit notes of mango, dried banana and white flowers, with lime underneath - a fruity bouquet. Complex, juicy and elegant on the palate with fine apple fruit at the core and some blossom honey on the finish. It's already accessible, a full-bodied food companion.
Winery Story: Our great-grandmother was a charismatic woman. She was a cultivated woman who loved her land, working as a both a winegrower and a schoolteacher. She wrote the first pages of the family estate’s history.
Our grandparents Jean-Marie and Geneviève Drémont were mainly farmers and stockbreeders, and only had 1 ha of vines. The first bottle of Champagne was put on sale in 1955.
It was our parents, Jean-Louis Drémont and Françoise Marroy, who planted by hand most of the vineyard, year after year, increasing it in size from 1 to 7.5 ha.
For a long time, our parents led a double life, switching between farming and winegrowing. After pruning the vines, there was plowing to be done; straight after trellising came the harvest, and when it was time to plant the vines, they also had to sow cereals. And they also had to round up runaway sheep in the evenings!
Nowadays, we, their children, are rising to a new challenge: that of producing our own wines so that we hear the voice of each of our growing plots.

We would consider all wine to be "Natural". The term "Natural Wine" has the connotation of lacking a touch with nature. The winegrowers we champion are those who are farmers first. They seek to capture the uniqueness of the site (terroir) in the purest way possible. The product is as pure as possible and without wine-making flaws (brettanomyces, mercaptans, volatile acidity, etc.
Raw, in this case, we define as realistic and not manipulated. The winemakers use the least amount of intervention as possible. Wine should be made in the vineyard, not the cellar. The winemaker's job is to get the wine into the bottle in the purest form possible. There are additives that go into making wine, some are essential and some are not. Wines in this category do not have extra additives. They are free of added sulfur, or have the most minimal amounts possible in order to provide shelf stability for the consumer to experience the wine as the winemaker intended it to be.
