Champagne Piot Sevillano
Champagne Piot Sevillano is an independent vigneron maison from Vincelles in the Vallée de la Marne. It's run by Christine Sévillano (vigneronne) and Jérôme Piot. The maison is HVE and organic certified (AB) and takes a natural, independent approach: "Champagnes de caractère, naturels et atypiques."
Viticulture & Sustainability
Piot Sevillano has been working according to organic principles for years and is HVE certified. In the vineyard, they use zero insecticides and zero herbicides. A special feature: soil work is done in part with horses – they're called Fred and Manon. The maison's philosophy revolves around Authenticité, partage et convivialité: authenticity, sharing and conviviality.
Vinification
Piot Sevillano focuses on stylistic diversity. Some cuvées contain oak: the Cuvée Rebelle (100% Chardonnay) is 10% barrel-aged, the Cuvée Interdite 15%. In the Cuvée Prestige, the reserve wine proportion is around two-thirds. Many wines are unfiltered or minimally filtered, which allows for natural cloudiness. The dosage range goes from 0 g/l (Brut Nature) to 35 g/l (Demi-Sec Noct'en Bulles). The maison pursues an uncompromising, natural approach without mainstream adaptation.
The Cuvées in Detail
Brut Nature
Uncompromisingly dry, taut, clear. Apple cider vinegar and balsamic notes define the character – not for those seeking crowd-pleasing wines, but a clear statement of terroir.
70% Meunier · 15% Pinot Noir · 15% Chardonnay · 0 g/l
Extra Brut Fraîcheur de Coteau
Fresh, lightly spicy, with beautiful copper color. Rounder than the Brut Nature, almost with sweetness on the finish – even though it's only 4 g/l dosage.
85% Meunier · 15% Chardonnay · 4 g/l
Cuvée Rebelle
100% Chardonnay, 10% oak-aged. Exotic, fruity, with a noticeable dosage jump. Unfiltered – so cloudiness can occur.
100% Chardonnay · 6 g/l · 10% oak
Cuvée Interdite
Noticeably rounder, "praline": soft, sweet-seeming, but complex. 15% of the Chardonnay portion ages in oak.
50% Chardonnay · 40% Meunier · 10% Pinot Noir · 7.2 g/l · 15% Chardonnay in oak

Fruity-fresh, with fine sweetness. Surprisingly approachable for a vintage – less tension, more balance.
80% Meunier · 20% Pinot Noir · 7 g/l · 2013 vintage
Brut Essence de Terroir
Copper color, fine minerality, beautiful fruit. Noticeably present mousse, almost demanding.
70% Meunier · 15% Pinot Noir · 15% Chardonnay · 7 g/l
Cuvée Prestige
Deeper, warmer, juicy. Toast aromas only show up after about ten seconds – lots of reserve wine, lots of patience. Two-thirds of the assemblage consists of reserve wines.
80% Meunier · 20% Pinot Noir · 7.2 g/l · ⅔ reserve wines
Cuvée Provocante
100% Meunier from old vines. Spicy, balanced, classic Brut style – the most approachable wine in the flight.
100% Meunier · 6.5 g/l · old vines
Cuvée Impertinente
Taut acidity, mouth-watering, almost Chardonnay-like. Gooseberry, citrus peel, lots of freshness – even though it's 100% Pinot Noir.
100% Pinot Noir · 6.5 g/l
Rosé Âme de la Rive Droite
Very approachable, nice acidity, red fruit more cool than sweet. Unsweetened strawberry jam rather than candy. 15% red wine in the assemblage.
60% Meunier · 25% Pinot Noir · 15% Chardonnay · 7 g/l · 15% red wine
Noct'en Bulles (Demi-Sec)
Despite 35 g/l, barely as sweet as expected: apple, brioche, apricot, mango. More balance than dessert.
75% Meunier · 25% Pinot Noir · 35 g/l

First contact: December 16, 2025 – Advent calendar tasting with 11 bottles in 3 flights. An impressive range: from uncompromising Brut Nature through single-variety mono-cépages to a Demi-Sec that remains surprisingly balanced despite 35 g/l. Piot Sevillano shows that dosage can be a tool – not just a concession to mass taste.
