Champagne Marie Copinet — Organic Purism from Montgenost

Champagne Marie Copinet — Organic Purism from Montgenost

Champagne Marie Copinet is a Récoltant-Manipulant from Montgenost in the Sézannais, south of the Côte des Blancs. Led by Marie-Laure Kowal Copinet and Alexandre, who farm their own vineyard plots and handle vinification themselves. The maison has specialized in organic viticulture with a strong focus on biodiversity and vegan production.

Viticulture & Sustainability

Starting in 2026, the vignoble is fully certified in agriculture biologique. The farming carries the AB-Label, and the entire Cuvée range is vegan-certified — from vineyard to bottle, no animal substances are used.

In the vineyard, Marie Copinet works with a pronounced biodiversity concept: beehives stand between the parcels, insect hotels provide winter refuge, ladybug shelters serve as biological pest control. Roses at the end of vine rows not only beautify but also signal fungal infection early. Soil work is done with the Agromi, an EU-co-financed device for gentle mechanical cultivation.

Vinification

The elaboration follows the principle of purity: no animal substances in clarification or conditioning, no fining with gelatin or isinglass. At least one Cuvée — the Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature — comes to bottle completely without Dosage and relies on puristic expression.

The Cuvées in Detail

Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature

Pure Chardonnay, absolutely without Dosage. Taut, mineral, chalk-driven, with clear citrus trim. Puristic to the core — a champagne that gives space to raw fish, lime, wasabi and avocado, instead of overpowering them.
