Champagne Rémi Georgeton
Champagne Rémi Georgeton is a Récoltant-Manipulant from Ludes in the Montagne de Reims. Led by Rémi Georgeton, who farms his vines in four sites: Verzy (Grand Cru), Ludes, Chigny-les-Roses and Rilly-la-Montagne (all Premier Cru). The maison is AB and Demeter-certified and works with a clear goal: to bring the terroir into the glass as purely as possible.
Vignoble & Soil
Rémi Georgeton farms vines in four villages of the Montagne de Reims. The grape variety distribution is approximately 38% Pinot Noir, 34% Chardonnay and 28% Meunier. The soils are limestone-based with chalky texture, which can be felt in the wines as salty minerality and chalk notes. Verzy as Grand Cru provides the foundation for the most concentrated Pinot Noir cuvées, while the Premier Cru sites of Ludes and Chigny-les-Roses primarily contribute Chardonnay.
Viticulture & Sustainability
The maison works organically and biodynamically. The AB and Demeter certifications have been documented for several years. In the vineyard, minimal intervention is practiced, with biodynamic preparations being used. The farming follows the principle of keeping the vines in balance and promoting natural soil fertility.
Vinification
Élevage is done about 80–90% in stainless steel, with individual cuvées or portions aging in 500-liter barrels. The base wines ferment spontaneously with wild yeasts, and malolactic fermentation also runs spontaneously. Rémi foregoes fining and filtration. Dosage is usually 3–4 g/l (Extra Brut), sometimes exactly 3 g/l. The philosophy is purist: terroir over technique, restraint over fruit, texture over aromatics.
