Champagne Aurélien Lurquin
THE AURELIEN LURQUIN DOMAIN
Aurélien Lurquin is part of the young generation coming up in Champagne. Member of the Des pieds et des vins association, which aims to promote local champagnes, Aurélien today only produces a few thousand bottles per year of an assertive and beautiful style. The culture is certified organic and biodynamic. This cuvée comes from harvests from vineyards located in the village of Romery in the Marne valley. For him, making wine means “using my five senses to pay attention to the new juice, while allowing the twelve months that forged its identity to be expressed as purely as possible”.
