A characterful Brut, where the energy of biodynamics enhances a rare blend driven by Pinot Blanc.

Essentiel Brut is a signature cuvée of the Erick Schreiber estate, a pioneering biodynamic winegrower in Champagne.
Each bottle reflects his commitment to crafting living wines that faithfully express their terroir.

Sourced from the slopes of the Seine Valley, in the heart of the Côte des Bar, this Champagne is born from Kimmeridgian soils rich in marl and marine fossils.
This unique terroir brings finesse and mineral freshness to the grapes.

The blend proudly asserts its singular personality.
Predominantly Pinot Noir (52.5%), the king grape of the region, which brings structure and generosity.
It is complemented by Chardonnay (43%), contributing elegance and tension.
Finally, Pinot Blanc (4.5%), a rare grape in Champagne, brings a delicate floral note and extra freshness, enhancing balance and length on the palate.
This choice to include a forgotten grape variety reflects Erick Schreiber’s desire to preserve the vineyard’s ampelographic diversity and create Champagnes with distinctive character.

39% reserve wines ensure consistency of style and enrich the aromatic palette.
Partial oak ageing (44.5%) on the current vintage wines brings extra depth and a silky texture worthy of a fine wine.

With a dosage of 3.31 g/L, Essentiel Brut strikes the perfect balance between freshness, body and complexity.

A fine and persistent Champagne, capable of accompanying an entire meal.
Perfect as an aperitif, it also shines with poultry, fish in sauce, or a cheese platter with aged cheeses (Comté, Beaufort…).
