This cuvée, which is a nod to Camille's grandmother, and illustrates through its aromatic density the generous personality of the Pinot Noir grapes which grow in Coulommes-la-Montagne. Same as Massonnot's Gamine Blanc de Noirs Brut but with zero dosage: 0 g/L.

Jean-Marie Massonnot Champagne traces its roots back to the 1930s when Aimé Massonnot began making and selling his own Champagne. Massonnot was passed from generation to generation, and in the ‘80s, Aimé’s grandson, Jean-Marie, ushered in the modern era of the domaine, drawing on the past while also looking toward the future. He took great care in preserving his father’s massal selections from the 1950s while also fully converting the pinot meunier-dominant estate to organic by 2021. Today, the domaine is a multigeneration operation with Jean-Marie’s daughter, Camille, at the helm.

See: Deep gold, fine and lively mousse.

Smell: The same exuberant pineapple, lychee, pear and mirabelle character, slightly sharper without the dosage to round it.

Taste: All the blackberry and stone-fruit depth of the Brut version, but with zero dosage (0 g/L) letting the fruit's natural acidity and saline edge take the lead — bone dry, precise.

Pair: The same white-meat and poultry pairings as the Brut, but this version's cutting acidity also loves raw shellfish or a simple grilled fish.

Celebrate: For when you want to celebrate without any sugar-coating — the honest toast, no dosage of flattery required.

Village: Coulommes la Montagne
Region: Montagne de Reims
Vintage: 70% 2018, 30% vin de réserve
Varieties: 60% pinot noir, 40% meunier
Disgorgement: February 2025
Dosage: 0 g/l

Jean-Marie Massonnot Champagne traces its roots back to the 1930s when Aimé Massonnot began making and selling his own Champagne in Coulommes-la-Montagne, a small village in Vallée de la Marne. Massonnot was passed from generation to generation, and in the ‘80s, Aimé’s grandson, Jean-Marie, ushered in the modern era of the domaine, drawing on the past while also looking toward the future. He took great care in preserving his father’s massal selections from the 1950s while also fully converting the pinot meunier-dominant estate to organic by 2021.

Today, the domaine is a multigeneration operation with Jean-Marie’s daughter, Camille, at the helm. Camille’s husband; her parents, Jean-Marie and Christel; and her brothers, Valentin and Victor, help however they can. Even Camille’s young children find small ways to lend a hand. In the vineyards, Camille continues her father’s commitment to thoughtful, harmonious, organic farming while also incorporating more modern growing and winemaking techniques of her own.

Always honing her winemaking style, Camille keeps human intervention to a minimum — no dosage, no sulfites, no filtration and slow aging on lees — allowing each cuvée to express its unique identity.

Please let us know, and will happily replace the bottle. Before you throw it away, snap a photo of the back label and we can refer to the code for reference. Email it to info@fatcork.com along with the order number.
