Three growers. Three completely different ideas of Champagne.
We start with Legrand-Latour Campanien — pure Meunier, shaped by the fossil-rich soils that define Thibault Legrand’s almost obsessive approach to geology and Champagne. A wine that starts millions of years below the vineyard.
Then Maison Raday — Rimosa Ripa 2022. A ridiculously small micro-négoce created by Valentin Tribaut, working with grapes from his cousin Aurélien Lurquin. This release comes entirely from Aurélien’s organically farmed Les Crayères du Levant in Romery: 60% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay, one year in oak and zero dosage. Tiny quantities, almost impossible to find — and one of the projects in Champagne we are most excited about right now.
And then we make it spicy: Emmanuel Brochet, Les Hautes Vignes du Mont Benoît 2018. One of Champagne’s cult growers, one of his most serious wines, and — very subjectively — Martins’ favourite bottle from the latest Brochet release.
Three bottles. Three growers. Three very different ways of thinking about Champagne.
