"The NV Brut Nature Les Houtrants Complantés is phenomenal. What a wine. Rich, deep and explosive, the Houtrants possesses tremendous depth and energy from start to finish. Orange peel, dried flowers, ginger, mint and baked apple tart all race across the palate. This large-scaled ample Champagne is endowed with tremendous character. This is one of the best wines I have ever tasted from Geoffroy .... Jean-Baptiste Geoffroy’s Champagnes are marked by extraordinary precision and purity. Sustainable farming practices and a low-intervention approach in the cellar are core philosophies. Most vineyards are located in and around Cumières, a sector known for producing Champagnes packed with nervy energy. The decision to block malolactic fermentations and low dosage further add to that vibrancy. These are very special Champagnes that richly deserve a wider audience."

The northerly region that gives its name to the world's most celebrated sparkling wine, made by secondary fermentation in bottle from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Chalky soils and a cool climate yield wines of finesse and longevity.
The sole appellation for true Champagne, producing sparkling wines of finesse and complexity by traditional method from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
A key Champagne grape lending fruitiness, roundness and approachability to blends alongside Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
