Emeric's note

A long dinner that starts with oysters

Taste profile

The wine's soundboard.

Tall bars, big wine. Low bars, easy wine.

The story

Behind the bottle

Yves Ruffin has farmed organically in Avenay-Val-d'Or since 1971, long before it was fashionable in Champagne. Today his son Antonin makes the wines.

La Nuit de Juillet is a single-vintage 2021 from about three hectares of Premier Cru vines: 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir from three plots, nine months in oak and acacia, zero dosage.

A Champagne made for the table, not the toast.

Where it comes from

Champagne Yves Ruffin & Fils portrait

The maker

Champagne Yves Ruffin & Fils

“When he founded our Maison in 1971, Yves Ruffin immediately rejected the use of pesticides. He chose to continue using historical techniques of winegrowing. This decision made him one of the pioneers of organic viticulture in Champagne.”

The place

Montagne de Reims · Champagne

A forested ridge south of Reims ringed with Grand Cru villages. Pinot Noir dominates here, lending body, structure and red-fruit depth — the backbone of many prestige cuvées.
