Description
Type of wine
Guillaume Sergent's Champagne Pataphysique Extra Brut is a Blanc de Noirs that highlights the character of Pinot Meunier. Crafted using the Traditional Method, it is distinguished by a fine and persistent perlage. Fragrant hints of red fruits emerge on the nose, combined with complex yeast notes. On the palate, it reveals itself as dry and harmonious, offering a tense and savoury sip with an extremely linear finish.
Origin
This wine originates in Vrigny, in the heart of Champagne, and is crafted by an independent winegrower who works on just two hectares of land. The estate, active since 1842, manages every stage of vinification in-house to best enhance the terroir. The careful and meticulous approach ensures a limited production, essential for delivering the most vertical expression of the grapes and highlighting the profound artisanal identity of Guillaume Sergent.
How it is produced
Vineyard management follows the principles of organic farming, respecting the natural balance of the plants. During processing, the use of new barrels is avoided, thus preserving the original freshness of the base wines. The second fermentation takes place according to the Traditional Method, with a prolonged period on the lees that defines the texture of the bubbles. The Extra Brut dosage ultimately results in a pure, tense, and extremely elegant wine.
History and curiosities
Produced in Vrigny on an estate active since 1842, Guillaume Sergent's Pataphysique Extra Brut 2020 fully embodies the passion of an independent winegrower. Managing less than two hectares cultivated under organic principles, since 2009 the estate has carried out its own vinification to enhance the authenticity of the terroir. This Blanc de Noirs, created through a rigorous Traditional Method and long ageing on the lees, offers a dry and vertical expression of pure Pinot Meunier. Its récoltant-manipulant soul ensures limited-edition artisanal excellence, proving to be an extraordinarily fresh and harmonious wine.

Previous generations have always chosen to rely on a cooperative for the entire process of wine production, since Guillaume's entry into the company, the wine-making process has been carried out within the company, producing a limited quantity every year, but always in slight growth. None new wood is used during processing so as not to alter the character of the wine.
Les Pres Dieu is the first cuvée made by Guillaume and worked in two wooden barrels. The production is only 615 bottles. The dosage of 4.5 g/l has been established; this allows the freshness of the sandy terroir of Vrigny to be maintained and the slight oxidation to be balanced. which gives this cuvée its complexity.
