A Family Legacy with a Modern Vision
For four generations, the Renoir family has cultivated vineyards in Verzy, one of the most renowned Grand Cru villages in the Montagne de Reims. In 2014, Adrien Renoir took over the family estate, previously known as Champagne Vincent Renoir. Bringing fresh energy and a deep respect for his heritage, Adrien transitioned the estate to organic farming and incorporated biodynamic principles, achieving organic certification in 2020. His goal is clear: to create terroir-driven champagnes that express the unique identity of Verzy.
An Outstanding Terroir: Verzy Grand Cru
The estate spans approximately 5 hectares, exclusively located in Verzy Grand Cru. The vineyards, planted between 1961 and 1971, benefit from a diversity of exposures and chalky soils, creating a rich and complex aromatic profile. Key vineyard sites such as "Les Montants" and "Les Épinettes" produce exceptional Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, known for their purity, intensity, and finesse.
Sustainable and Biodynamic Viticulture
Adrien Renoir has committed himself to environmentally friendly viticulture, eliminating herbicides in 2015 and fully embracing organic practices. Though not officially certified in biodynamics, the estate follows its principles to enhance soil vitality and vineyard biodiversity. All vineyard work is done by hand, ensuring meticulous attention to each vine, and only natural treatments are used to protect the vines and maintain soil health.
A Natural Approach to Winemaking
In the cellar, Adrien follows a low-intervention philosophy, using native yeasts for fermentation and aging his wines in neutral oak barrels rather than stainless steel. This traditional Burgundian method allows for greater depth, texture, and complexity while preserving the purity of fruit and minerality. His champagnes undergo extended aging on lees to enhance their structure and balance, resulting in wines that are both vibrant and profound.
Signature Cuvées That Capture the Essence of Verzy
Each cuvée at Champagne Adrien Renoir is crafted to reflect the estate’s philosophy of precision and authenticity:
- Le Terroir Extra Brut: A blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from Verzy Grand Cru vineyards, offering vibrant citrus notes, crisp minerality, and a long, elegant finish.
- Les Épinettes Extra Brut: 100% Pinot Noir from a single parcel planted in 1971, showcasing deep red fruit aromas, delicate spice, and a refined texture.
- Les Montants Extra Brut: A pure Chardonnay cuvée from the estate’s highest vineyard, delivering remarkable tension, saline minerality, and layered complexity.
