Marie Copinet's "Rupture" cuvée is a name that speaks for itself: it represents a "break" with classic schemes, a return to unfiltered earthiness. It is a bold Champagne, combining the structure of Pinot Noir with the extreme purity of no dosage.
Champagne Copinet "Rupture" Nature 2019: The Naked Strength of Pinot Noir
The "Rupture" Nature Blanc de Noirs 2019 is one of the most intense and uncompromising expressions from Maison Copinet. The result of the 2019 vintage — characterized by sunny ripeness and exceptional concentration — this Champagne is made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes from old vines located in the Côte des Bar. The name "Rupture" symbolizes Marie-Laure's choice to present this wine in its most ancestral and pure form: a Pas Dosé (Nature) that hides nothing, revealing the authentic soul of the grape and the territory.
Sensory Profile In the glass, it impresses with an intense golden yellow color and warm coppery reflections. The nose is complex and powerful: notes of crunchy red berries, mirabelle plum, and candied orange peel intertwine with hints of dried fruit and a light spice. On the palate, the impact is of great volume; the typical structure of Pinot Noir is broad and enveloping, but it is immediately cut through by a blade of mineral freshness that cleanses the sip. The finish is very long, dry, and savory, with a persistent recall of fruit pulp.
Philosophy and Vinification For this cuvée, Marie-Laure Copinet practices extremely respectful viticulture (certified HVE and Terra Vitis). The choice of zero dosage (Nature) in the 2019 vintage was dictated by the perfect quality of the grapes: sugar is not necessary when the balance between acidity and ripeness is so harmonious. It is a Champagne that vibrates with its own energy, unfiltered by the liqueur d'expédition.
Food Pairings Given its structured and vinous nature, "Rupture" is an all-meal Champagne. It excels with noble cured meats (such as Pata Negra or Culatello), roasted white meats, tuna tataki, or washed-rind cheeses. It is a perfect choice for those who love "material" and characterful bubbles.
