Smell: Fresh citrus and white tea leaves, billowing sea air.

Pair: Crab cake benedict with a light, buttery hollandaise or a fun pairing with grilled fish tacos with cabbage slaw and creamy avocado.

Celebrate: Zucchinis and tomatoes and lemon cucumbers, oh my! Your garden is exploding with homegrown goodness. Turns out you have a green thumb after all. You pop a bottle and call your neighbors over to have a sip, while they snap up some backyard-fresh produce.

For Mathilde Devarenne of Rochet-Bocart, Champagne is more than her life’s work; it’s her legacy. The family domaine was founded in 1956 by her grandparents Jacques Rochet and Claudette Bocart in Vaudemange, a small village at the southern border of Montagne de Reims. At eight years old, Mathilde began helping in the tank room, and soon she impressed her elders with her ability to discern between grapes grown in each of the family plots simply by tasting them. Mathilde assumed her role as head vigneron at Rochet-Bocart in 2015, she now tends grapes from the same land just as her uncle Michel did before her and as her grandparents did before him.  

Guided by the wealth of wisdom passed down through the generations, Mathilde maintains many of the domaine’s time-honored traditions, but she has also added some new techniques and personal touches that make the label authentically her own. From biodynamic methods in the vineyards to blocking malolactic fermentation in the production house, Mathilde’s efforts produce exquisite low-dosage cuvées that are a beautiful reflection of her skill and passion.
