Champagne Terre d'Irizée by Régis Poissinet is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship. The grapes, harvested from 35 parcels across his 7-hectare vineyards in Vallée de la Marne, undergo rigorous, hands-on cultivation, eschewing conventional practices. Régis, committed to expressing the terroir, opts for manual labor to yield mature, healthy grapes. In the cellar, simplicity reigns supreme—gentle pressing in an antique basket press, fermentation with natural yeasts in used wooden barrels, biological acid reduction, natural clarification, and minimal use of wine treatments. Poissinet sees Champagne as a mature wine, resulting in distinctive, expressive, and captivating character Champagnes that resonate with depth and sophistication.
