Descrizione

The Champagne Brut Fossile by M.G. Heucq is a precious expression of Champagne, a region renowned for its excellent winemaking tradition. Obtained from a skillfully balanced blend of typical grape varieties such as Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay, this sparkling wine elegantly conveys the richness of the chalky and clayey terroir. The long aging on the lees helps develop a fine and persistent perlage that caresses the palate with delicate liveliness.

On the nose, it opens with refined aromas of white flowers, notes of fresh fruit, and light mineral nuances, confirming the authentic character of the land. On the palate, it reveals itself as harmonious, fresh, and savory, with a pleasant structure and a clean finish that invites another sip. Perfect as an aperitif or paired with delicate fish dishes and shellfish, it is an ideal companion for moments of celebration and conviviality.

Winery history

Four generations of the Heucq family have worked the vineyards in Fleury-la-Rivière. Robert and Paulette expanded the family holding; in 1979 François and Véronique built a pressing center to become récoltant-manipulant and developed commercialization. In 2019 Guillaume and Mélody resumed operations on about 5 hectares, creating the M.G. HEUCQ label and introducing parcel-based vinification and the use of tonneaux.

Production philosophy

Family-run management of all stages — from vineyard to bottle — with a focus on grape quality, winemaking in both stainless steel and wood, low-impact practices and enhancement of the terroir through blends and single-parcel cuvées. The website also states that HVE certification is underway.

Terroir and vineyards

The parcels are located mainly in Fleury-la-Rivière, a limestone terroir formed 45 million years ago and rich in marine fossils. Soils are varied, and the average age of the vines is reported by the producer at around 35 years.
