Red dry
One of the most exciting new-generation producers of Côte des Blancs, experimenting with small-production, terroir-driven Coteaux Champenois wines. The “Les Flandrines” parcel is a rare example where ‘Meunier’ is expressed as an elegant, Burgundy-inspired red wine.
The aroma reveals raspberries, strawberries, cherries, and pomegranate, layered with notes of white pepper, violets, dried herbs, and a delicate hint of forest floor. With time, subtle nuances of citrus zest and pomegranate seeds emerge.
On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied yet finely structured, with silky tannins and bright, refreshing acidity that create an elegant, linear, and vibrant profile. Flavors of raspberries and red currants lead into a mineral, lightly saline finish. The aftertaste is long, clean, and delicately floral.
The Les Flandrines vineyard lies on the edge of Côte des Blancs, characterized by chalk and limestone soils. Low yields ensure concentration without loss of freshness or acidity.
Harvesting is done by hand, with strict selection. Fermentation takes place using whole clusters or partial whole-cluster methods (a signature Vincey practice), with native yeasts only. Aging occurs in neutral French oak barrels, allowing the purity and character of Meunier to remain fully expressed without oak dominance.
Serve at 14–15 °C. Pairs well with tuna tataki, beef carpaccio, grilled poultry, and delicate mushroom dishes.
“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.
The key vineyard plots of “Domaine Vincey” include:
“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.
