IT ALL STARTED WITH A REDISCOVERY

Granite stone is millions of years old and consists of 3 crystals:  feldspar, quartz and mica​.

These three crystals will revolutionize the champagne history. Granite has been used to store food for thousands of years.

• Wine was first mentioned 8000 years ago, and it is known that the old portuguese used granite for wine production. But then all forgot several hundred years on granite.

• Champagne was invented in 16th century  (Dom Perignon)

• In 2014  granite, consisting of three crystals, was rediscovered for wine production.
   

AND IT BECOMES A WORLD NOVELTY REVOLUTIONARY

Current Champagne production:
The wine for Champagne is usually stored in steel tanks (more than 90% of the Champagne production) or wooden barrels and some use concret.

Good wine needs an ideal amount of oxygen in the maturing process - and it should "breath slowly" In steel, wine cannot breathe. Sometimes the base wine is oxygenated with technical devices to improve the quality. In the oak barrel, the wine can breathe well  but receives secondary aromas. Some people like it, some not so much.

NEW IS NOW: THE GRANIT TANK, THE CRISTALLINE METHOD  
for the production of Champagne.

Because of the structure of the  3 granite crystals the wine can "breathe well" and receives the ideal amount of oxygen during the fermentation and

This security comes from the experience of our partner-winemakers since 2014, our top 4 and 5 star customers and the many professional ratings of the wine from the ganite tank.
Everybody praise the fruitiness, purity and special minerality.

After intensive discussion and tastings of wines from granite tank together with the experienced chef de cave from Épernay, the procedure for refining the base wine from the granite tank with the champagne method is clearly defined.

It is already certain that the champagne will be unique, just as the wine from the granite tank will retain its pure, natural fruitiness - because granite is tasteless and gives the wine the right amount of engergy. 

The minerality will becomes crystalline freshness through bottle fermentation and zero dosage.

René Gabriel said to chardonny wine from granite tank:
The  natural stone wine Chardonnay is extremely fragrant and full of energy.
And most importantly, do not get tired of wood.
Here are the links to René's  BIOGRAPHY and his BOOKS about wine.

FROM WHICH REGION DO THE GRAPES COME AND WHICH GRAPES ARE USED?

Our Vigneron owns vineyards in champagne, in the area around Epernay.
The sorts: pinots noirs, chardonnays.
The secret of which grapes are used will announced on March 1st. 2024.

WHY IS THE CHAMPAGNE MAKER NOT ANNOUNCED NOW?

After researching which winegrowers would like to work with the new method, it turned out that only a few winegrowers are willing to give us some of their treasures. And this only under certain conditions. That is why we have agreed to remain silent until 1 March 2024 in order to achieve the desired surprise effect with ZÉRO MILLÉSIME.
