Champagne Faust Carte d’Or

This organic Champagne is so much more than just great value, it also has quality flavours and innate elegance that you can’t help but love. Produced in the Marne region of Champagne, France, it’s a unique 100% Pinot Meunier Champagne (Marne is famous for its Pinot Meunier dominant Champagnes). The Pinot Meunier grape grows well in cooler areas and ripens early, and this example has classic biscuit and yeast on the nose and is full of citrus and soft spice flavours with uplifting acidity. A Champagne to enjoy from one of the first organic producers.

Gites are available at Faust, in the village of Vandieres. Free bottle of Champagne with a two night reservation! Please contact info@vintageroots.co.uk for more information.

Situated in Vandières, this 30-hectare estate has been organically certified since 1969, and was one of the very first in Champagne. Back in the day (late 1980s), it was the first that Vintage Roots visited. Meeting Serge Faust and family and seeing the vineyards was an inspiration. Their eight hectares are located along a hillside above the Marne River in the Marne region, which is known for Pinot Meunier dominant Champagnes. The Cuvée Speciale however is a 50/50 blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir and the richer flavours make for great variation in style. In more recent times after Serge’s passing, the daughter and son-in-law have successfully continued the family legacy and kindly agreed to keep the ‘Faust’ labelling for Vintage Roots.
