Description
The wine
The Les Vignes Goisses in magnum — the same wine as the 750ml, in the format that ages most gracefully. Petit Meunier on Grand Cru chalk from one of the Montagne de Reims’ finest lieux-dits, rested for a minimum of 36 months on lees before disgorgement. Zero dosage. In magnum the wine’s development arc is longer and the peak more sustained — a wine made to be opened at an occasion that deserves it.

Adrien Renoir farms four hectares in Grand Cru Verzy on the Montagne de Reims — three specific lieu-dits of massale selection vines planted between 1961 and 1971. He took over from his father Vincent in 2014 and converted the domaine to organic certification by 2020. Everything is fermented and aged in barrel — old oak barriques and large oak foudres for the reserve wines.
