2020 Elise Bougy, Vibrations ML, Grand Cru, Champagne, France (2026 release)

We come together around the idea of saying “yes”: A small word that contains everything.

Elise Bougy is part of a new wave of Champagne growers rethinking the region from the ground up. After returning to her native Les Mesneux in 2016 to take over her family's estate, she transitioned the vineyards to organic and biodynamic farming, earning certification in 2022. Her three hectares span 1er Cru parcels in the Montagne de Reims and a prized Grand Cru plot in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, including a cherished family holding on pure chalk soils. With minimal intervention in the cellar and a fierce devotion to site expression, Bougy crafts Champagnes that are vibrant, tense, and resolutely alive.

The Vibrations range represents Bougy at her most selective. Vibrations ML is a separate selection from the Chétillon de Haut parcel, vinified in a 600-liter demi-muid and a 300-liter barrel set aside for this wine. Only 637 bottles of the 2020 were produced; this 2026 release was held an additional year on the lees before disgorgement, a continuation of Bougy's experiment with how extended lees contact shapes these wines. No dosage.

More concentrated and contemplative than the Chétillon de Haut bottling, with depth and textural complexity over the same chalk-driven minerality of Mesnil. The hand-painted labels, each bearing a unique brushstroke, signal the rarity and intention behind these wines.
