Ruppert Leroy

If you were looking for winemakers who are emblematic of the current shift happening in Champagne you’d be hard-pressed to find a better example than Bénédicte and Emmanuel Leroy. From their home deep in the heart of southern Champagne’s Côte des Bar, they farm 4 hectares of vines that sit amongst dense, richly biodiverse forest. Their luminous, energy-rich champagnes are the product of holistic biodynamic practices in those vineyards, strict yields and a precise, no-sulphur approach in the cellar.
