Geoffroy farms Cumières 1er Cru, and the two lieux-dits behind this Blanc de Blancs, Tourne Midi and Les Chênes, sit on soil chalky enough that Chardonnay was the only sensible answer. Half barrel, half enameled steel, no malo, ninety months on the lees, and 2g/L of dosage: all that time built the texture, and the chalk kept the spine. Seven and a half years of patience, and nobody's papering over it with sugar.

Winemaker Notes

Practicing organic 100% Chardonnay From Cumières 1er Cru, lieux-dits “Tourne Midi” and “Les Chênes” Very chalky soil in these sites, which is why they are planted to Chardonnay No malo Fermented and aged in 50% barrels, 50% enameled stainless steel Aged 90 months on the lees Dosage: 2g/L

The 2017 Champagne Premier Cru Cumières Blanc de Blancs Volupte Extra Brut pours a bright straw/yellow color and reveals notes of mocha, ripe lemon balm, smoky wet stones, white peach, and raw hazelnut. It has a slight reduction, but it™s not pronounced. Medium-bodied, it has a silky texture and clean, bright acidity. Drink 2025-2040. Disgorged in November 2024 with 2 grams per liter dosage.

93 Wine Advocate

Disgorged in January 2022 with a mere one gram per liter dosage, the 2015 Brut Blanc de Blancs Volupté offers up aromas of white flowers, hazelnuts, citrus zest and fresh pastry. Medium to full-bodied, pillowy and chiseled, with racy acids and a chalky, mordant finish, it didn't see malolactic fermentation.
