Winemaker:
Winemaking handed down from father to son since 1776. A family winery with 60 blocks spanning 8 hectare in Verzy, a “Grand Cru” village in the Grande Montagne de Reims region. Application of agroforestry practices with more than 500 trees & shrubs planted on the vineyard blocks. Introduction of animals for winter grazing : chickens & sheep.
The soils of the young vines are worked with horses.
This bottle is named after his nod to his philosophy of atavism, a return to the former way of making Champagne.
The grapes are harvested at a ripeness level where chaptalisation is not necessary.
“Atavique (Atavistic): Atavism: recurrence in the descendant of one or several characteristics typical to one of its ancestors”
