Champagne Thierry Massin - Extra-Brut 4P
2*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
“A rare single-vineyard Extra-Brut, original, mineral, and fruity. A superb creation from Thierry Massin”
“A single-vineyard cuvée praised for its originality, liveliness, minerality, and surprising fruitiness. Its secret? In addition to its low dosage, the 2019 harvest—which was both sunny and cool—and the blend of four grape varieties, three of which are rare in Champagne. The blend brings together three Pinots: Pinot Noir, ubiquitous in the Côte des Bar (55%), the much rarer Pinot Blanc (24%), and Pinot Gris (13%), of which only a few rows are grown in Champagne, and finally a “forgotten grape variety,” Petit Meslier. Complex, delicate, and crisp, the nose blends yellow fruits, exotic fruits, citrus, pine resin, and vegetal notes. A prelude to a palate that is all fruit, taut, and long-lasting.” (Le Guide Hachette 2025).

About the wine:
A single-vineyard cuvée praised for its originality, liveliness, minerality, and surprising fruitiness. Its secret? In addition to its low dosage, the 2019 vintage—which was both sunny and cool—and the blend of four grape varieties, three of which are rare in Champagne. The blend brings together three Pinots: Pinot Noir, ubiquitous in the Côte des Bar (55%); Pinot Blanc (24%), significantly rarer; and Pinot Gris (13%), of which Champagne cultivates only a few rows; and finally, a “forgotten grape variety,” Petit Meslier. Complex, delicate, and crisp, the nose blends yellow fruits, exotic fruits, citrus, pine resin, and vegetal notes. A prelude to a palate that is all fruit, taut, and long.
About the estate:
A tributary of the Seine, the Arce winds its way through the Côte des Bar region (Aube). On its slopes, siblings Thierry and Dominique Massin have been cultivating a vineyard since 1974 that was established during their grandfather’s time; it now covers 12 hectares, 9.5 of which are dedicated to Pinot Noir. Their respective children, Thibault and Violaine, have joined them.

What a lovely surprise for someone like me who loves Chardonnay—this is a superb, very mineral-driven blend that pairs perfectly with oysters
