Champagne 1er Cru Brut Nature "Cuvée Art’Terre" | Wine from Domaine Thomas Perseval

Located in Chamery, at the heart of the Montagne de Reims, the Domaine Thomas Perseval spans 2.5 hectares of vineyards across six distinct plots. The emblematic grape varieties of Champagne are cultivated here in equal parts: 33% Chardonnay, 33% Pinot Noir, and 33% Pinot Meunier.

The history of the estate begins with Thomas Perseval's grandfather, who, as a cooperative member, was already producing champagne. In the 1960s, the family decided to focus on the vineyard by planting new vines, thus initiating a new dynamic. In 1986, Thomas's father left the cooperative to establish his own estate and create his own champagnes.

Thomas Perseval, passionate and trained in viticulture from a young age, pursued his studies at the Domaine de Saint Romain in Burgundy, where he discovered and embraced the principles of organic and biodynamic agriculture. In 2005, he took over the family estate and fully committed to agriculture that respects the terroir, certifying his cuvées in organic agriculture by 2013.

The champagnes of Thomas Perseval are distinguished by their elegance and precision, enhanced by a beautiful salinity that marks the unique style of the estate.
