2021 Georges Remy, Les Vaudayant Rosé, Grand Cru, Champagne, France

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

Georges Remy is the third generation of his family in Bouzy, where the Remys have grown grapes since 1829. His grandfather was the first to bottle wine under the family name in 1950; his father stepped back from production in 1989 to focus on the vines themselves. Georges trained in Avize and worked in Bordeaux, where he fell hard for red wine, before returning home to consult and farm alongside his father. In 2011, his parents gifted him a 0.15-hectare parcel of pinot noir in the lieu-dit Les Vaudayants, planted by sélection massale in 1975. That was the beginning. He added champagne to the project in 2014. Today he farms 4.7 hectares across seventeen parcels in Bouzy, Ambonnay, Louvois, and Tauxières — all certified organic since 2018, with biodynamic practices and homemade compost shared between Georges, Benoît Lahaye, and Antoine Paillard. He harvests later than almost anyone in the region, holding out for full phenolic ripeness, and vinifies and ages every cuvée in barrel. The wines are brut nature, unfined, unfiltered, and made in tiny quantities.

The Vaudayant Rosé is a saignée drawn from the same 1975 pinot noir parcel that produces the Bouzy Rouge — vines planted by sélection massale on seventy centimeters of clay over limestone, farmed organically and tended with biodynamic practices. After a double sort (once at the vines, once before pressing), the juice ferments and ages on fine lees in 228L barrels. Malolactic completes naturally. Disgorged without dosage. Production is in the hundreds of bottles. Expect blood orange, white strawberry, and a deep saline pulse — a rosé champagne in the most serious mode, made for the table rather than the toast.
