About Champagne Ruppert-Leroy
Bénédicte Leroy’s parents were sheep farmers settling in Essoyes in 1975. Here they started a small farm on a clearing above the town. In the 1980s they learned they could plant grapes on the land they had been renting for the sheep to graze. Little by little, they created a domaine which today is four hectares. This does not include the garden and small pasture they kept for their own animals. They sold the grapes they grew to the local cooperative.
In 2009, Bénédicte’s father was about to retire. She left her job as a physical education teacher to take over the domaine. At this point, they started working on the conversion to organic agriculture. They also soon started making their own wines. They apply the principles of biodynamics in both the vineyard and the cellar. Their quest for the simplest winemaking leads them toward the spirit of ‘vin nature’. Each cuvée comes from a single vintage of a single vineyard, bottled ‘brut nature’ with no dosage.
