De Reyve Champagne Brut

Winemaker De Reyve on the winery

“We are Union Champagne, a collective of winegrowers in the Champagne region, based in Avize. By bringing together the expertise and grapes of different growers, we can select from a diverse range of terroirs and grape varieties. Our vineyards span key areas of the region, including the Côte des Blancs, Montagne de Reims and Vallée de la Marne. We combine this diversity with the traditional Champagne method, in which the second fermentation takes place in the bottle. Our aim is to create Champagnes that bring together finesse, freshness and a distinctive house style.”

And on Champagne, France

“Our De Reyve Brut is a non-vintage Champagne blending Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir. The grapes come from different parts of the Champagne region, including the Côte des Blancs, Montagne de Reims and Vallée de la Marne. Chardonnay contributes freshness and elegance, while Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier bring fruit and structure. We make the wine using the méthode traditionnelle, with a second fermentation in the bottle that develops its fine mousse and characteristic ageing notes. In the glass, you’ll discover citrus and white flowers, complemented by brioche. The palate is elegant and delicate, with a soft, lingering finish.”
