Terroir

The cool continental climate of the Côte des Bars preserves acidity, while the mineral-rich soils impart lift and salinity, contributing to a Champagne that is both vibrant and elegant.

Tasting Notes
The Chromatique T23 pours with a pale gold hue and a fine, persistent mousse. The nose offers white flowers, citrus zest, green apple, almond, and chalky minerality, layered with subtle hints of yeast and brioche from extended lees aging. On the palate, it is lively and textured, with zesty acidity balancing flavors of lemon curd, green pear, wet stone, and a whisper of honey. The finish is long, precise, and saline, revealing a Champagne that is both vibrant and contemplative.

Stéphane Regnault’s Chromatique T23 NV is a refined, mineral-driven Champagne that beautifully expresses both varietal purity and terroir. Ideal as a celebratory aperitif or paired with oysters, smoked fish, or light poultry dishes, it is a sparkling wine that delights both the palate and the mind — a true biodynamic gem from a thoughtful vigneron.
