Le Chapitre is a champagne house based in Berru, with vineyards also in Avenay Val d'Or and Montbré, historic terroirs in the Champagne region. The house's winemaking approach is characterised by long ageing: the champagnes are laid down for 3 years in the bottle and then kept in the cellar for at least 3 months after disgorgement.
The range consists of two main lines:
- Champagne Brut: A blend of 60% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Meunier and 5% Pinot Noir. This cuvée is known for its freshness, fine mousse and subtle aromas that evolve from floral to fruity, with a lingering finish without aggressiveness.
- Champagne Rosé: A rosé d'assemblage of 85% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Noir, supplemented with 30% reserve wines. The Pinot Noir undergoes a 5-day maceration before fermentation to obtain the colour and fruity characteristics.
No specific history of the house Le Chapitre is available in the available context, nor detailed information on its own vineyard area. The context does mention that the Champagne region covers a total of approximately 34,000 hectares of vineyards, 90% of which is owned by 15,000 winegrowers who often sell their grapes to large champagne houses.
