Tasting Notes
Art’ Terre brings together Pinot Noir (40%), Pinot Meunier (40%) and Chardonnay (20%) from three parcels in Chamery, a Premier Cru village of the Montagne de Reims. The vines, oriented northeast to north, grow in a mix of clay-limestone and sandy-limestone soils. Farmed organically with biodynamic practices, the 2020 harvest was fermented in oak and matured on lees for over two years before being hand-disgorged. Bottled as a Brut Nature with only the lightest touch of sulfur, it captures purity and precision in equal measure. - Aaron C
Thomas Perseval is a respected, independent grower-producer in the Premier Cru village of Chamery in the Montagne de Reims, known for crafting pure, terroir-driven Champagnes using dedicated organic and biodynamic practices.
Thomas Perseval comes from a family with a long history of farming both cereals and vineyards in the heart of the Montagne de Reims natural park. His parents began bottling Champagne under their own name, Perseval-Harteel, in the early 1980s after leaving the local cooperative. Thomas took over the small 2.5-hectare estate in 2003, having been inspired by an internship with a biodynamic winemaker in Burgundy. He has since focused on converting the entire domain to a natural, respectful viticulture, achieving organic certification in 2012 and incorporating biodynamic principles.
The vineyards, spanning about 2.5 hectares across six plots, are primarily located in and around Chamery, an area with a variety of exposures and soils including sand, clay, and limestone. This diversity of micro-terroirs allows Thomas to produce single-vineyard wines that express the unique character of each plot. He also cultivates small quantities of rare, older native varieties like Petit Meslier, Arbane, and Pinot Blanc.
