Description

Les Revenants is one of the most original and rare grower Champagnes produced today — a tribute to Champagne's forgotten grapes: Pinot Blanc, Petit Meslier, and Arbanne.

Harvested from a single south-facing parcel in the Côte de Sézanne, on soils rich in chalk and covered with clays and sands, this cuvée reflects a style from another era — textural, lifted, and hauntingly complex.

Vinified naturally in large oak barrels (demi-muids) with no filtration or fining, and aged extensively under cork, Les Revenants reveals aromas of white flowers, wet stone, citrus zest, and fresh herbs, followed by a palate that’s expansive yet incisively mineral.

This is not just Champagne — it is a historical narrative in liquid form, an ode to biodiversity, and an exercise in purity and precision.
