Descrizione

Champagne Air from Domaine Augustin is a refined and vibrant expression of the French wine tradition, coming from the lush Champagne region. This skillful blend is made from carefully selected grape varieties, mainly Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, grown on chalky soils that give the wine an elegant structure and distinctive freshness.

The aging takes place in the bottle for an extended period on the lees, allowing the champagne to develop aromatic complexity that ranges from notes of bread crust and yeast to delicate hints of white fruit, citrus, and wildflowers. On the palate, it is balanced, with fine and persistent bubbles that lively accompany its pleasant acidity, bringing liveliness and dynamism.

Ideal for moments of celebration but also as a sophisticated aperitif, Champagne Air pairs well with dishes based on raw fish, shellfish, and fresh cheeses, enhancing the delicacy of the ingredients without overpowering them. Its timeless elegance tells the unique terroir of Champagne and the meticulous care of Domaine Augustin in the winemaking process.

Winery history

Estate associated with Maison Parcé Frères; Augustin Parcé returned to Banyuls in 2014 to establish his own project within the family vineyards, enhancing the area's historic parcels. The estate is presented as the result of work and expertise handed down through the family.

Production philosophy

Careful vineyard work on slate terraces, controlled yields and targeted vinification to respect each plot; in the cellar low-intervention practices are employed to express the terroir.

Terroir and vineyards

Vineyards on steep terraced slopes of schist soils in the Banyuls/Collioure area along the Costa Vermeille, at the foot of the Pyrenees — a typical Roussillon terroir. The labels are tied to the local appellations.
