Winemaker's Background:

Liebart-Régnier was established in 1960 by Lucien Liebart and Georgette Régnier in Baslieux-sous-Châtillon, a picturesque village in Champagne’s Marne Valley. Today, the house is led by their son Laurent Liebart and his wife Valérie. As an independent grower-producer, Laurent emphasizes sustainable and integrated vineyard practices, ranging from lunar-influenced planting cycles to organic cover crops and biodiversity. His work aims to capture the expressive identity of each parcel in every bottle.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve well chilled (6–8°C) in a tulip or white wine glass to accentuate the aromas and creamy texture. Perfect as an aperitif or paired with oysters, scallops in beurre blanc, truffled popcorn, or soft cheeses like Brie and Chaource.

It’s a wine that speaks softly but leaves a lasting impression, precise yet generous, polished yet soulful. This vintage bottling is a true gem from one of the Marne Valley’s most thoughtful producers.
