Direct from the estate

The 2016 vintage Champagne from the Jean-Baptiste Lointier estate stands as a pioneering cuvée, marking the official debut of this independent winemaker and beekeeper based in Crézancy, in the Marne Valley. From that first year of winemaking in 2016, the estate made the bold choice of uncompromising biodynamic viticulture, tending a small-scale vineyard to capture the very essence of this clay-limestone terroir. This meticulous, highly artisanal approach laid the foundations for a distinctive style deeply rooted in respect for nature and the environment.

In the cellar, Jean-Baptiste Lointier’s philosophy translates into minimal intervention and a constant quest for purity, favoring low-intervention winemaking techniques that allow the vintage to express itself fully. This 2016 vintage benefits from careful aging, resulting in a finely sculpted texture and bubbles of great finesse, all while preserving the integrity of the fruit. The result is captivating, offering dazzling freshness and aromatic complexity—a testament to the remarkable potential of this inaugural year in the Marne Valley.

Produced in very limited quantities, this vintage cuvée is aimed particularly at connoisseurs of artisanal wines and terroir-driven Champagnes. Far removed from industrial standards, it embodies the modern spirit of a new generation of independent winemakers crafting wines that are alive, taut, and vibrant. It is a bottle made for fine dining, best enjoyed by opening it to appreciate the sincerity and boldness of the monumental effort undertaken since the estate's inception.
