Descrizione

Terre Millésime 2008 by Geoffroy is an emblematic Champagne born in the heart of the Champagne region, a territory renowned for its history and great winemaking excellence. This vintage is a refined expression of pinot noir and chardonnay, grape varieties skillfully blended to enhance the complexity and longevity of the wine. The 2008 harvest, a year recognized for particularly favorable climatic conditions, gives this Champagne a solid and well-balanced structure.

The vinification takes place with great respect for traditions, while the aging on lees exceeds seven years, giving the wine an intense aromatic richness and creamy finesse. On the nose, notes of ripe fruits, bread crust, and yeast emerge, accompanied by a lively acidity and freshness typical of the territory. The palate reveals lasting elegance, with a persistent and harmonious finish, a testament to Geoffroy’s distinctive style.

Perfect to accompany structured fish dishes or moments of celebration, Terre Millésime 2008 is a tasting experience that faithfully reflects the unique vocation of the Champagne terroir.

Winery history

The Geoffroy family has cultivated vineyards in the Vallée de la Marne since the 17th century. In the early 1950s Roger Geoffroy began bottling under his own name. Management then passed to René and later to Jean-Baptiste Geoffroy, who moved the winemaking and commercial operations to Aÿ in 2008. The house has grown while remaining family-run and involving the next generation.

Production philosophy

Production aims to respect the soil and the vineyard’s expression: minimal vineyard work and winemaking conducted parcel by parcel. In the cellar, priority is given to traditional pressing, gravity transfers and choices intended to preserve freshness. Blending and dosage are decided to enhance the wine’s natural balance.

Terroir and vineyards

The vineyard covers 14 hectares, divided into plots across the hills of Damery, Hautvillers, Fleury-la-Rivière and, notably, Cumières, a village classified Premier Cru in the Vallée de la Marne. The land is fragmented into numerous clos and parcels that provide diverse varietal expressions typical of the region.
