NEWEST CHAMPAGNE PRODUCER RECOMMITS AVID VINES’ TO AWARD-WINNING WINES AND SUSTAINABLE, ORGANIC METHODS
Tell me if any of this rings true with you:
- I hate headaches, they take longer to get over. They remind me I overdid something e.g., overserved, under- hydrated, etc.
- I dislike being mass marketed to do or be told something that is discretionary and especially around food or drink e.g., advertising around chain restaurants, soda/sport drinks, beer, etc.
- I love to voyage and leave my caprices behind when traveling. Live like a local: take public transportation, shop at a local market or grocery store, drink local, get a haircut are ways I prefer to immerse myself in a location vs. vacation city-hopping.
These preferences took time to develop. There’s a lot of experience polished on them. You’ll see these preferences surface in decisions made at Avid Vines. On the occasion of adding the next producer to the Avid Vines portfolio, Champagne Rafflin Lepitre from Chigny-les-Roses in the Premier Cru heartland of the Montagne de Reims in Champagne, FR, we rededicate and remind ourselves, why do we choose this special place in Champagne? Why only certified organic? Why the highest quality?
I hate headaches from drinking sub-par champagne or anything that’s mass marketed (and mass-produced at such a scale as to be dislocated from its sense of place). Talk to me about family farmers, owners, and growers who hold back selling their harvest and instead touch every grape that goes into their bottles. People who capture rapture from a single dot of dirt in an idyllic setting that expresses itself in my glass. At Avid Vines, we believe that both sustainability and exceptional taste go hand in hand. Our commitment to offering only the finest organic, unadulterated wines cannot be questioned because we pay to have a first class, climatized container bring the wines to our shores – protected from the heat of a 6-week ocean voyage and weeks stuck in busy port traffic.
Here’s a short list of people with whom we’re interested in sharing these coveted and special wines:
- If you love to pair champagne with cuisine
- If you dream of visiting Champagne (or love to return) and meet the person responsible for crafting the bottle
- If you live to celebrate shared moments around food and wine, and want to thrive in the ones that follow
We welcome you and look forward to connecting you with our collection of award-winning, Premier Cru Champagne. If this isn’t you, we won’t waste another moment of your time.
As we venture into this exciting territory with Rafflin-Lepitre, our newest producer, we invite you to (re)discover the world of sustainable champagne, where environmental consciousness meets the pinnacle of flavor.
Sustainable champagne is more than a trend; it represents a conscientious approach to winemaking that reflects our shared responsibility towards the environment. Each bottle of certified organic and sustainable champagne we offer is a testament to the meticulous efforts of the winemakers behind them. These producers demonstrate their unwavering commitment to sustainable practices, ensuring that every step of the growing and production process is carried out with utmost care for nature. By choosing organic champagne, you not only savor a well-crafted libation but also support a more sustainable future for the wine industry. By choosing an owner-grower champagne, you not only taste a unique artisanal expression of excellence, you also support one farmer, one family behind it.
Avid Vines’ selection of sustainable and organic Premier Cru Brut Champagnes presents an array of remarkable options to tantalize the palate. These award-winning wines are from Chigny-les-Roses which is a coveted group of vineyards in the Montagne de Reims district of the Champagne region. They are carefully curated to meet the highest quality standards while respecting the environment. From crisp Blanc de Blancs made exclusively from organically grown Chardonnay grapes to rich and complex cuvées crafted with an environmentally friendly approach, each bottle tells a captivating story of sustainable viticulture. Capture the rapture as you experience the effervescence and flavors that can only come from organically grown grapes, protected during their long, arduous voyage to your glass. Take comfort in also knowing your choice supports a greener and more sustainable future.
