Description

Aurélien Suenen has built a reputation as one of the most exciting growers in Champagne, and his home turf in Oiry is the heartbeat of his work. These are chalky, east-facing slopes in the Côte des Blancs, sitting right in the middle of grand cru Chardonnay country. The vines here dig deep into pure chalk, giving wines that are both laser precise and quietly powerful.

This Extra Brut is drawn entirely from Oiry fruit, vinified with minimal intervention and aged on lees to build depth without losing tension. Aurélien’s aim is always to let the chalk speak, and it shows – the wine is saline, structured, and deeply mineral, with the sort of vibrancy that makes you want to go back for another glass straight away. Dosage is kept low to underline that clarity.

Suenen’s wines are still made in tiny quantities and can be difficult to track down, but they’ve become touchstones for anyone serious about grower Champagne. This bottling, in particular, is one of the purest expressions of Oiry terroir you’ll find.

As the founder of the Suenen Champagne, I have assigned my philosophy to our wines and land since 2009. I wish to convert a unique agricultural produce into wine, in order to authentically represent the essence of my land. As a result, our wine growing and producing techniques will reflect the evolution of our wine year after year.

The fragility of my land and wine require care and a particular attention to the healthiness of the soil. We have reintroduced mechanical work in order to reduce packing down of the soil, thus increasing breathing and promoting land healthiness. By feeding the vine with its essential needs the growing of the roots is stimulated daily, allowing them to reach deep into the chalk layer to extract the finest in minerals and authenticity.
