A pure expression of Meunier from Belval-sous-Châtillon, combining precision with vibrant fruit. Notes of yellow-fleshed fruit, apricot and ripe peach are supported by fine structure and a chalk-driven tension. The Extra Brut style brings clarity and freshness, resulting in a luminous, elegant Champagne that clearly reflects the precise and terroir-focused approach of the Faivre estate. 100% Meunier, 80% from the 2022 harvest, with 20% reserve wines from 2018 to 2020. Grown on clay-limestone and hard limestone, aged 15 months on lees.

In the hills of Belval-sous-Châtillon, the Faivre family has cultivated Meunier for eight generations. At Domaine R. Faivre, this grape is not simply part of the vineyard; it represents the estate's identity. Today, Nicolas Faivre continues this lineage, with Meunier representing nearly 80% of the domaine's plantings. 

The vineyards are farmed with a regenerative and sustainable philosophy: no herbicides or insecticides, meticulous manual trellising, and rigorous pruning to keep yields naturally balanced. Each parcel is treated as its own ecosystem and vinified separately, revealing the subtle interplay between Belval's chalk and clay-limestone soils.

In the cellar, each parcel is also pressed and fermented individually before blending, preserving the distinct character of each plot. This parcel-driven approach allows Faivre to craft a wide range of Champagnes, from pure expressions of Meunier to blends that bring Pinot Noir and Chardonnay into elegant balance. The house style is both generous and precise: deeply expressive, gastronomic wines that offer immediate pleasure while possessing the structure and depth to evolve beautifully with time.
