Descrizione

The Champagne Brut Fossile by M.G. Heucq, in magnum format, is an excellence that encapsulates the essence of the Champagne terroir. This cuvée expresses the perfect balance between freshness and complexity, the result of a careful selection of the classic grape varieties of the region, such as Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier. The extended aging on lees gives a creamy and complex texture, with notes of bread crust, ripe fruit, and a pleasant minerality that evokes the limestone soil of the production area.

In the glass, it presents a fine and persistent perlage, accompanied by a refined bouquet ranging from floral to fruity notes, with pleasant hints of almond and yeast. Perfect companion to refined appetizers, shellfish, and fish-based dishes, this champagne in magnum format enhances every convivial moment with elegance and character.

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.
