In the heart of Champagne’s Marne Valley, Patis Pluriel is crafting exceptional expressions of terroir. Their Corps Simple cuvée showcases fifth-generation winemaker Valentin Patis’s dedication to the often-overlooked Meunier grape.
This 100% Meunier Champagne comes from 50-year-old vines in the La Croix de Verneuil parcel, where clay-limestone soils create perfect conditions for this characterful variety. What makes Corps Simple truly special is its minimal-intervention approach—made without added sulfites, zero dosage (brut nature), and completely unfiltered.
When tasted, Corps Simple reveals an extraordinary floral bouquet—acacia, white blossoms, and jasmine mingle with ripe pear, apple, and citrus notes. The palate delivers vibrant acidity that cuts cleanly through the wine’s texture, with subtle spicy hints reminiscent of green chili pepper.
The mousse showcases perfectly integrated, fine bubbles that create that quintessential Champagne experience. Its precise structure makes it ideal for pairing with oysters or delicate fish dishes.
Corps Simple represents Patis Pluriel’s philosophy of letting terroir speak with minimal winemaker interference. The use of carbonic ice during fermentation instead of sulfites preserves the wine’s natural character—a true reflection of Marne Valley’s unique terroir.
For Champagne enthusiasts seeking authenticity beyond the region’s famous houses, Corps Simple offers a pure, unfiltered window into Meunier’s true potential—an artisanal treasure that honors both tradition and innovation in every glass.
