Domaine de Bichery | Fine-Boned Grower in Neuville-sur-Seine

Domaine de Bichery

Raphaël and Hannah Piconnet launched their small grower domaine just over a decade ago, with vineyards inherited from Raphaël’s grandfather. Initially, they produced only a few thousand bottles and sold the rest of their grapes to the local cooperative, but they ultimately decided to keep their fruit entirely. Located in the Southern Aube, right next door to Celles-sur-Source, Raphaël farms his family’s mere ten parcels organically and biodynamically. Thanks to picking riper fruit, he can vinify most of his wines without sulphur. Each wine comes from a single vintage and is bottled Brut Nature. Unlike many Aube growers, who produce rich, muscular cuvées, Bichery takes the opposite approach, favoring a fine-boned, pure core of fruit with racy acidity.

Domaine de Bichery Champagne La Source Brut Nature (2022)
Bichery's flagship cuvée, La Source is a blend of 50% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay, and 10% Pinot Meunier. Aged in barrel (60%) and stainless steel (40%). Sourced from three different plots: Val Ligé, La Fontaine du Noyers and L'Envers. A dangerously drinkable introduction to the estate's fresh style.

Domaine de Bichery Champagne Les Fontaines Rosé Brut Nature (2022)
100% Pinot Noir from Fontaines du Noyer, their steepest parcel located on Portlandian Limestone and clay. 10% made as a still Pinot red wine harvested later to develop deeper complexities and fruit, blended back into the rosé. Raised in barrel (30%) and stainless steel (70%).

Domaine de Bichery Champagne Terres Melees Blanc de Noirs Brut Nature (2022)
100% Pinot Noir from four different parcels: Les Mees, Val Ligé, La Fontaine du Noyer, and Val Cureaux on Portlandian Limestone and clay. The wine is raised in barrel (40%) and stainless steel (60%). Filled with deep, chalky intensity.
