About Emeline De Sloovère

The De Sloovère family have been making Champagnes in their 11^th century farmhouse for five generations, but Emeline is one of the new generation of young, motivated grower/producers in the region who is taking her family’s Champagnes in a new and very positive direction. Emeline is one of the leading lights in the drive towards sustainable Champagne production. Her vines are grown biodynamically, using only natural composts and sprays; the wines are fermented using wild yeasts and bottled with minimal or zero sulphites; and she is the first producer in the region to ditch the metal neck sleeve which traditionally covers all Champagne bottle corks. Instead her “Emeline de Sloovère” range of wines have a simple strip of paper sealing the cork, which substantially reduces her Carbon footprint and has no effect on the quality of the champagne.

Fresh, dry and well-structured, in typical “Pinot” style. Richly flavoured with gentle, bready, leesy flavours, excellent balance of fruit and acidity and a long, crisp finish.

Serve with mixed charcuterie or cheeses. Approximately 5,000bts were produced.
