Adrien Renoir represents the new generation of Champagne growers redefining Verzy’s Grand Cru terroir. Based in the Montagne de Reims, his family has been cultivating vines since the 1960s, though it was Adrien’s return to the domaine in 2014 that marked a turning point. Building on his father Vincent’s foundations, he converted the estate to organic and biodynamic viticulture, drastically reducing yields and focusing on site transparency. The domaine farms just under 7 hectares, primarily Pinot Noir, on Verzy’s chalk-rich slopes, many vines over 40 years old. Adrien works parcel by parcel, vinifying each with indigenous yeasts in barrel and employing minimal sulphur. His wines are bottled without fining or filtration and receive long lees ageing. The result is a collection of precise, textural Champagnes that honour Verzy’s deep chalk, its tension, and its elegant aromatic restraint.
Les Montants Verzy Grand Cru is sourced from a south-facing vineyard of Chardonnay on pure chalk at high altitude above Verzy. The 2019 season provided fruit of great tension and aromatic purity. Fermentation took place in oak barrels using indigenous yeasts, followed by long lees ageing to accentuate texture. The cuvée shows white peach, lemon zest, and almond, underpinned by crystalline minerality and subtle smoky length.
