Rémi Leroy farms a small estate in the Côte des Bar, the southern outpost of Champagne that sits closer to Chablis than to Reims — and increasingly draws the attention of drinkers chasing grower-Champagne with a sense of place. Trained as both an oenologist and an agricultural engineer, Rémi farms his roughly nine hectares organically, with a focus on biodiversity and minimal intervention in the cellar. (And no — no relation to the Domaine Leroy in Burgundy.) The Extra Brut is roughly 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay, a mirror of his vineyard holdings, with the 2022 vintage as the base. Aged 18 to 20 months on the lees in a mix of stainless steel and used Burgundian barrels, with just 3 grams of dosage, it's a serious, low-intervention Champagne at a price that still feels possible.
