« The simplest expression »

Situated in the east of the Champagne region, on the Mont de Berru, Saint Germain de Crayes Champagne blends expertise and traditions.

Our vineyard is certified “High Environmental Value,” a label granted by the Ministry of Agriculture. Each of our operations is tailored to the terroir…

We cultivate with passion a vineyard composed of Chardonnay, Meunier, and Pinot Noir.

These grape varieties bring a unique flavor and bouquet to the champagne, which we invite you to discover. All reaching perfect maturity through extended aging in the cellar, these champagnes offer subtlety and aromatic richness.

“The simplest expression”

Devoted to the typicity of this terroir, Saint Germain de Crayes Blanc de Blancs champagnes are the quintessence of a single soil (Berru), a single grape variety “Chardonnay,” and a single year. Respecting the origin, knowledge, and traceability of the fruit naturally brings out the best in it.

Saint Germain de Crayes Champagne benefits from an average of 4 years of maturation in the cellar. The dosage is adapted each year, ranging from 0 to 8g/l

 

 

Tradition

Blanc de Blancs

100% CHARDONNAY

Color
Beautiful pale yellow color.

Nose
Very expressive nose with anise notes. Then come numerous vegetal notes (chlorophyll, lime, fern, mint) enwrapped in a hazelnut aroma.

On the palate
Smell and taste are in perfect harmony. The taste is mineral and the fresh hazelnut note makes it very pleasant. This cuvee has the very tonic characteristics of white fruit and citrus. The final mineral note is very subtle.

Brut Nature

Blanc de Blancs

100% CHARDONNAY

Color
Bright wine with a pale yellow color and golden hints.

Nose
This 2005 vintage is astonishing: its aroma hangs between buttery and creamy characters and yellow fruit notes. This wine is both ethereal and strong in character and is getting more Kirsch flavors with time.

On the palate
But let’s not forget that this vintage holds the particularity of having undergone a malolactic fermentation, which gives a very tonic attack. Vine peach and exotic fruit aromas give a lot of freshness. Then anise gives delicacy to honeyed fruit. Finally the vinosity of this vintage appears with notes of mirabelle plum and crystalized figs.

Rosé

Brut

32% Chardonnay
17% Pinot Noir
51% Pinot Meunier
14 % Pinot vinifié en vin rouge
40% vin de réserve

Color
It has a beautiful tender rose color, slightly salmon, with raspberry hints.

Nose
The nose displays melon and strawberry jam aromas. Cherry notes combine with a beautiful expression of Chardonnay. The leathery character that indicates an evolution of the pinots mixes with grenadine aromas.

On the palate
The taste brings us into the undergrowth with moss and small wild strawberries notes. At the end, it presents some kirsch flavors that reveal the beautiful maturity of the cuvee.

Blanc de Blancs

Millésime 2013

100% CHARDONNAY

Color
The golden liquid reveals a line of fine sparkling bubbles which continue to rise and lengthen.

Nose
This is a wine of great purity, releasing white flower and citrus fruit aromas.

On the palate
The wine presents itself through a structure both rich and pure, showing exceptional finesse. The notes of chalky minerality which express themselves in this vintage are characteristic of the chardonnays. The finish is long, carrying through it hints of vanilla sticks.

RESERVE

Réserve

36% Chardonnay 15% Pinot noir 49% Pinot Meunier

Color
This wine has a pale yellow color with a beautiful shiny reflection.

Nose
The nose opens on praline notes with some very fruity smells of pear.

On the palate
It is full-bodied and decadent thanks to its white fruit flavors with a hint of slightly honeyed raisin. Almond and fresh hazelnut softly dominate giving a lot of character to the cuvee.
