2019 Geoffroy "Lieu Dit Les Tiersaudes" Blanc de Noirs 1er Cru, Champagne, France
ABOUT THIS WINE
2019 Geoffroy “Lieu-Dit Les Tiersaudes” Blanc de Noirs 1er Cru showcases the purest expression of Pinot Meunier from a single premier cru parcel in Cumières. Planted in 1972 on fine silts with limestone and flint and farmed with a deep commitment to biodiversity and low-intervention practices, this cuvée reflects both site and vintage with rare clarity.
The fruit is hand-harvested at optimal ripeness, pressed traditionally, and fermented on indigenous yeasts with extended élevage in large wood (demi-muid). After 60+ months on the lees and zero dosage (Brut Nature), the wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered—offering texture, tension, and remarkable purity
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
The Geoffroy family have been winemakers since the seventeenth century and the property has stayed in the family for almost 400 years, uninterrupted. In addition to prime parcels in Cumières, the family has holdings in Damery, Hautvillers, and Dizy. Geoffroy’s vines average about 20 years of age, and the oldest are from 1926. Viticulture is described as lutte intégrée, or “integrated pest control”—it is heavily aimed at sustainability, eschewing all chemical weedkillers and employing methods such as the planting of cover crops, tilling of the soil and the encouraged habitation of predatory insects to combat vine pests.
