Binôme Extra Brut

Mathilde Savoye

$111

Binôme, or “pair” in English, is a blend of pinot meunier and chardonnay grapes from two different parcels in the same lieu-dit, “Les Vieux Fossés,”in Cuchery. The pinot meunier vines were planted between 1952 and 1995, and the chardonnay vines were planted in 2016. In the cellar, Mathilde crafts a cuvée that’s a beautiful balance between the two, supple and rounded from the pinot meunier and vibrant and lively from the chardonnay — the perfect pair.

Growing up in a family of winemakers, surrounded by vineyards and a tradition of viticulture that dates back five generations, Mathilde Savoye knew from an early age that one day, she would make Champagne, too. Her father was reluctant to pass the family domaine to his daughter, so Mathilde decided she would break from the family estate and follow her dream of being a vigneron — all on her own. In 2017, after finishing her education, Mathilde started her domaine from scratch with 3.5 hectares of pinot meunier vineyards in Cuchery and Baslieux-sous-Chatillon.

From day one, Mathilde has worked in harmony with nature. She planted grasses, wildflowers and native herbs between the vines to promote healthy soils and to naturally manage pests. Rather than continuously tilling the soil, she disturbs it as little as possible. Grazing sheep keep the vegetation in check while their manure provides a natural fertilizer. She doesn’t use chemical treatments of any kind. Mathilde’s focus on biodiversity and sustainability earned her High Environmental Value (HVE) and Sustainable Viticulture in Champagne (VDC) certifications.

Mathilde allows her small, highly concentrated pinot meunier grapes to ferment naturally, and in her cold, dark cellar, malolactic fermentation is blocked to preserve the wine’s bright acidity. She rests each of her cuvées on the lees for 27 months and finishes each bottle with low dosage. Mathilde’s unique approach results in dynamic, energetic, fruit-forward Champagne with amazing texture.
