From Françoise Martinot & Charles Dufour — a stunning 100% Pinot Noir Champagne from the Côte des Bar. Taut and precise, with green apple, citrus peel, brioche, and that unmistakable chalky minerality we can’t get enough of.

Charles Dufour farms just 6 hectares organically, and while Champagne as a region requires certain interventions to legally be Champagne, Charles takes the most natural route possible. His focus isn’t on dogma but on intent — organic grapes, wild-yeast ferments, and only a whisper of SO₂ (never more than 35mg/L). Where Champagne demands the addition of sugar and yeast for the second fermentation, Charles keeps it true to his philosophy, using his own organic grape serum and a base of indigenous yeasts.
The result is Champagne with a natural-wine soul: classic in frame but brimming with energy. Expect ripe apple, crisp pear, tart strawberry, and layers of cream, brioche, and just-out-of-the-oven croissant. A bottle that balances precision with a rebellious kick.
