Champagne Rémi Georgeton

Champagne Rémi Georgeton is a Récoltant-Manipulant from Ludes in the Montagne de Reims. Rémi Georgeton works his vines across four sites, Verzy (Grand Cru) as well as Ludes, Chigny-les-Roses and Rilly-la-Montagne (all Premier Cru), pursuing a clear goal: to bring the terroir into the glass as purely as possible. Working consistently organic and biodynamic, the house is AB and Demeter certified.

Vignoble & Soil

Rémi Georgeton works vines in four villages of the Montagne de Reims. The grape variety breakdown is approximately 38% Pinot Noir, 34% Chardonnay and 28% Meunier. The soils are chalk-based with a chalky texture, which comes through in the wines as salty minerality and chalk notes. Verzy, as a Grand Cru, provides the base for the most concentrated Pinot Noir cuvées, while the Premier Cru sites of Ludes and Chigny-les-Roses contribute mainly Chardonnay.

Viticulture & Sustainability

The house works organically and biodynamically, certified by AB and Demeter. In the vineyard, Rémi intervenes as little as possible, uses biodynamic preparations and keeps the vines in balance, always with the goal of promoting natural soil fertility rather than forcing it.

Vinification

Aging takes place about 80-90% in stainless steel, with individual cuvées or parts of them maturing in 500-liter barrels. The base wines ferment spontaneously with wild yeasts, and malolactic fermentation also occurs spontaneously. Rémi foregoes fining and filtration. The dosage is usually 3-4 g/l (Extra Brut), sometimes exactly 3 g/l. The philosophy is purist: terroir over technique, calm over fruit, texture over aromatics.

Bread-like yeasty depth with fine chalk, barely any fruit, but texture and salty tension instead. Light cocoa notes on the finish, incredible length and calm. A wine that combines concentration with balance.
