White dry
One of the boldest estates of the new Champagne generation, renowned for its extreme terroir-driven philosophy and natural winemaking approach. Their Coteaux Champenois Blanc “Sous Voile” is an exceptionally rare and experimental wine, in which Chardonnay is aged sous voile (under a yeast veil), echoing the iconic oxidative wines of the Jura region.
On the nose, lemon zest, green apples, white peach and pronounced minerality intertwine. These are layered with notes of hazelnuts, dried apples, white muscat, delicate Fino sherry tones, and a subtle oxidative yeast character, giving the wine remarkable depth and individuality.
On the palate, the wine is dry and tense, with a clearly defined chalky structure and vibrant acidity. The texture is rich yet elegant, recalling Jura Savagnin, but with a more refined Chardonnay-driven precision. The finish reveals citrus oils, saline minerality, nutty nuances, and a delicate oxidative touch. Long, precise, and exceptionally pure.
The grapes come from several plots in Côte des Blancs, where pure chalk and limestone soils impart saline freshness and an exceptionally clean aromatic profile.
The grapes are hand-harvested and gently pressed. Primary fermentation takes place in neutral oak, followed by aging under a yeast veil (sous voile), without topping up (ouillage), allowing a subtle oxidative character to develop. Native yeasts are used, with minimal intervention, often without filtration.
Serve at 10–12 °C. Pairs well with Comté cheese, white mushroom carpaccio, gravlax salmon, seafood, or delicately prepared veal.
“Domaine Vincey” is a Grower Champagne estate located in the Grand Cru village of Oger, in the Côte des Blancs region. The producer focuses primarily on expressing the character of ‘Chardonnay’, aiming to reveal the identity of this chalk-rich terroir through individual plot vinification and a minimal-intervention approach.
The estate’s champagnes reflect the characteristics of Oger – pronounced minerality, vibrant acidity, structure, and ageing potential. The focus is not only on texture, but also on expressing the identity of each vineyard plot, vintage, and place of origin.
The Vincey family’s viticultural roots in the Oger area date back to the beginning of the 20th century. The modern identity of the estate began to take shape in 2014, when Florence and Quentin Vincey took over the management of the family vineyards and started to develop their own Grower Champagne philosophy.
The estate follows organic and biodynamic viticultural principles. The main focus is placed on soil vitality, natural vine balance, and preserving the individuality of each vineyard plot. Synthetic herbicides and chemical fertilisers are avoided in vineyard management.
Each important vineyard plot is vinified separately, indigenous yeasts are used for fermentation, and the wines are often bottled with minimal intervention – without filtration or with only light filtration – in order to preserve the natural texture and terroir expression.
The estate’s main focus is ‘Chardonnay’ from the Oger Grand Cru terroir. The champagnes are characterised by precise structure, chalk-driven minerality, and a restrained aromatic profile.
Blanc de Blancs champagnes express the typical Côte des Blancs character: citrus fruits, white flowers, chalky notes, and subtle saline nuances. Extended ageing on lees provides additional texture and complexity.
Millésime champagnes are produced from a single vintage, allowing the character of each year to become more evident. Longer ageing brings additional aromatic depth, revealing notes of mature citrus fruits, nuts, brioche, and subtle spice nuances.
The champagnes are aged on lees for several years, often beyond the minimum requirements of the region, gaining greater texture, depth, and complexity.
Oger is one of the 17 villages in Champagne classified as Grand Cru. This Côte des Blancs terroir is renowned for its chalk-rich soils, which provide ‘Chardonnay’ grapes with freshness, minerality, and long ageing potential.

“Domaine Vincey” champagnes are focused on terroir precision – reflecting not only the character of the grape variety, but also the influence of Oger Grand Cru’s landscape, soils, and individual vintages.
