Emeric's note

The first glass at a party

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.

L'Aspirant is Antonin's first true creation: half Pinot Noir, half Chardonnay, aged six months in acacia and oak, lifted with 10% reserve wine, then two years on its lees. Premier Cru, Extra Brut.

The new house blend, and already a favourite here.

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.
