LESS IS MORE WINESGrape: Pinot Meunier Pinot Noir Chardonnay
Vintage: MV
Type: Sparkling
A vivid, complex and ripe Champagne. Straddling the line between age and brightness. A delicious wine showing the complexity of age while still being youthful and bright. Small producer doing things the right way for a good price.
Triptyque is a blend of Meunier, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir from three plots located near Villers Allerand, on 3 different soils: sand, chalk, and clay.
The cuvée is a blend of 3 harvests (2007-2014-2015)
Alcoholic fermentation occurs with indigenous yeasts and it goes through malolactic fermentation. Vinification and aging take place in large oak barrels for 36 months on the lees. The wine is neither filtered nor cold pressed. No dosage, making it a Brut Nature.Stroebel
Timothée’s family came from Alsace and settled in Champagne after the Second World War. Vineyards were planted in the early 60’s in Villers Allerand, a small 1er cru village tucked in Montagne de Reims, where they still farm today.
Two generations later, Timothée had the dream to produce his own Champagne from the plots planted by his grandfather. After studying wine in Beaune and working in Burgundy, Timothée slowly got back the plots that were divided between the family members.
Installation was done in steps: 2001 the vineyards; 2005 the first wines were produced. The domain encompasses the three known Champagne varieties: Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
From the vintage 2018, all the wines are barrel aged, and he is working towards bigger size barrels starting from 400L. The alcoholic and malolactic fermentation happens naturally, wines are not cold stabilized and there is no dosage nor filtration.
