Hélène’s first eponymous NV release, coming from a base of 2022. Sourced from her parcels across the villages of Bisseuil, Mareuil-sur-Ay and Avenay Val d’Or. This is much more than just a ‘standard’ Brut Sans Année–with the parcels having an average vine age of 52 years. The wine was raised entirely in barrel, having blended in 35% reserve wines–which was also aged in barrel & foudre. Disgorged in November, 2024. Finished without dosage.

Description

Hélène Charbaut is the fourth generation of Champagne Guy Charbaut, based in Mareuil-Sur-Aÿ,  where she now also leads the winemaking for the family domaine. After having gained experience working in Burgundy and closer to home at Champagne Leclerc Briant, Hélène vinified a number of parcels under her own label within the village of Bisseuil, beginning with three mono-cépage expressions in the 2020 vintage.

The wines incorporated use of barrels with only a gentle guiding hand in the cellars, for a unique insight into the rarely seen terroir of Bisseuil. With just the upcoming second release from her namesake domaine, Hélène has an incredibly promising future ahead of her own estate as well the family’s larger holdings
