When it comes to the wine region, we usually list three varieties (Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier), but the winemakers there count on a total of six. The rarely mentioned other three – Arbane, Petit Meslier and Pinot Blanc are only scattered around the wine region, and Etienne planted a few rows of each – and the unconventional wine from them is the Les Revenants.

Organic growing, spontaneous fermentation in barrels, long settling, bottling without filtering and fining, second fermentation under cork, manual disgorging without dosage. Reduction, minerality and energy on the nose, while the palate is broad, full-bodied with lively acidity and a long finish. One of our most special wines from Champagne.

50% Pinot Blanc, 45% Petit Meslier, 5% Arbane

Disgorged in May 2022, 800 bottles made.
