Champagne Romain Tribaut

Romery, Marne Valley, France

Born into a family of winemakers from the 1890s, it all began with Léon Tribaut, already a winemaker on the villages of Romery, Cormoyeux in Marne Valley near capital Epernay Champagne.

This vineyard was then taken over by his son Roger Tribaut in the 1930s, in parallel with his position as head of vineyard for the Lanson House or it combined its 2 activities for more than 30 years.

His son Michel Tribaut succeed him in the 1980s to then extend and develop the farm.

In 2015, Romain decided to bring to light his grandfather's method of winemaking as well as the Meunier grape variety.

For this project only, they invested in a new thermoregulated stainless steel winery and then buy barrels from Bourgogne Montrachet where Chardonnay Burgundies have been vinified over 1 and 2 years.

The aim was to vinify 70% in barrels and 30% in stainless steel vats, and also only barrels.

The range is composed of two main axes :

• ‘Essential’ cuvées: Brut assemblage, Brut Blanc de Blancs, and a Rosé Assemblage

• ‘Opposite’ cuvées: Pure Chardonnay, Pure Pinot Noir, Pure Meunier, and Pure Meunier Zéro Dosage
