Description
The wine
The same wine as the sold out 750ml Le Cépage — 100% Grand Cru Verzy Pinot Noir from massale selection vines planted between 1961 and 1971, barrel fermented, zero dosage — in the format that ages most gracefully. A magnum has a lower ratio of wine to oxygen exposure through the cork than a 750ml, which means the wine develops more slowly and arrives at its peak in better condition.
For a structured Blanc de Noirs with real grip and mineral character from Grand Cru chalk, the magnum is the optimal format — whether for a serious occasion, a cellar with a long view, or a gift that signals genuine knowledge.

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.
