NV Brut Vintage. Les Cognaux, Rupert Leroy.
Tax included
Only 1 in stock
From Essoyes in Champagne’s Côte des Bar, Les Cognaux captures the Aube’s wonderfully wild, Burgundy-adjacent character. Ruppert-Leroy, run by Bénédicte Ruppert and Emmanuel Leroy, farms around four hectares biodynamically, Demeter-certified since 2014. This parcel is 100% Pinot Noir, rooted in grey clay and limestone with marine fossils, giving a distinctly saline, mineral edge. The 2022 vintage was warm and ripe, yet retains impressive freshness and tension. Brut Nature means zero dosage, letting the terroir speak loudly. Expect wild strawberry, red cherry, nectarine, ripe lemon and chalky minerality, with a silky, finely bubbled finish. Pair with oysters, tuna, roast chicken or mushroom risotto.
