Who makes it
Champagne Hebrart is a grower Champagne house in the Vallée de la Marne. Its vineyards are farmed sustainably, with as little input as possible, and annual production is approximately 12,000 cases. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay provide the house's two grape varieties. The work is carried out across more than 85 plots.
Where it grows
The Vallée de la Marne places the house inside Champagne's sparkling wine region. Champagne's second fermentation in bottle creates the mousse, while lees ageing can add bready flavours and a rounder texture as the wine rests. The range reaches Premier Cru and Grand Cru labels, so vineyard classification appears directly alongside the cuvée names.
What they make
The range includes Marc Hebrart Special Club Premier Cru 2021, Marc Hebrart Rosé Brut Premier Cru, and Marc Hebrart Noces de Craie Aÿ Grand Cru 2015. The Special Club is a designated Champagne cuvée, the Rosé Brut is the pink wine in a dry style, and Noces de Craie carries the Aÿ Grand Cru designation from the 2015 vintage. Premier Cru and Grand Cru are Champagne vineyard classifications that mark different levels of site status.
The rosé wraps exuberant fruit in a sleek, racy shape. It feels succulently ripe. Across the range, the wines have the full, generous character associated with the house, without becoming weighty or demanding.
