Nestled in the heart of the Côte des Bar, in the village of Neuville-sur-Seine, the Domaine de Bichery is a discreet address that has quickly established itself as one of the most sought-after references in independent Champagne winegrowing. Led by Hannah and Raphaël Piconnet, this small certified organic family estate embodies a radically sincere vision of champagne: no blending between vintages, no dosage, no filtration. One grape variety, one plot, one wine. Each cuvée is a declaration of authenticity, an unguarded dive into the reality of the Aube terroir and the vintage. The wines are aged in barrels without additives, fermentations are natural with indigenous yeasts, and the wines are unfined and unfiltered.
Founded in 2015 by Hannah and Raphaël Piconnet, the Domaine de Bichery is a deeply family-rooted venture in the Champagne vineyards. After taking over family plots in the Côte des Bar, the couple committed to converting to organic farming, now certified since 2019, in order to fully respect the expression of each plot. Their philosophy is rooted in sustainable viticulture and low-interventionist winemaking, highlighting the singular character of the grapes and the Champagne terroirs. Each cuvée is often vinified parcel by parcel and without blending of terroirs or vintages, affirming an authentic and personal vision of champagne.
The terroir of the Côte des Bar, located in the southern Aube, is distinguished by its deeply chalky soils and cool climate, offering ideal conditions for producing champagnes of great expression. The few hectares of the Bichery estate, planted with Pinot Noir, Chardonnay (and sometimes a little Pinot Meunier depending on the year), benefit from this characteristic minerality that lends tension and finesse to the wines. The vines, farmed organically, are cultivated with a constant concern for preserving soil health and biodiversity, ensuring healthy and ripe grapes at each harvest.
Winemaking at the Domaine de Bichery
At Domaine Bichery, winemaking is conducted with a resolutely natural approach: without unnecessary additives, often without added sulfites, without fining or filtration, and with fermentation using indigenous yeasts. The aim is to reveal the purity of the fruit and the minerality of the terroir, while respecting the raw material. The wines are aged on lees, sometimes in barrels and sometimes in vats depending on the cuvée, with minimal intervention to preserve the natural expression of the vintage. These choices result in clean, precise, energy-driven champagnes that are ready to drink, perfect for wine buyers seeking natural wines or authentic Champagne styles.
This iconic cuvée of Champagne blanc marking "where it all begins" is a dry and pure champagne made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. With no dosage (Brut Nature), it offers a palate of great precision, driven by a very fine freshness and a chalky minerality typical of the Côte des Bar. A non-interventionist winemaking approach and ageing on full lees give it an elegant structure and an aromatic complexity rarely found in this category of wines.
Made from 100% Pinot Noir, this champagne rosé Brut Nature captivates with its balance between finesse and amplitude. Fresh red fruit expresses itself with elegance, supported by a tart tension and a clean structure. This is an authentic and assertive champagne rosé that perfectly illustrates the purist style of the domaine.
This 100% Pinot Noir cuvée offers a rich and deep expression of this grape variety in a Blanc de Noirs style. Refined and intense, it unfolds fruity and mineral notes, with a mouth-watering finish typical of the chalky Champagne terroirs.
The champagnes of the Domaine de Bichery are particularly versatile at the table. The freshness and minerality of the Brut Nature cuvées pair wonderfully with raw seafood, oysters or sashimi for a delicate aperitif. The rosé profiles accompany grilled fish dishes, shellfish or lightly spiced white meat with great finesse. With their refreshing acidity and vibrant texture, these champagnes can also enhance gastronomic dishes, lightly salted aged cheeses or a citrus tartlet for dessert.
The Domaine de Bichery embodies a contemporary and authentic vision of grower champagne, where the expression of the terroir takes precedence over all other considerations. Committed to environmentally friendly organic viticulture and natural winemaking, this domaine offers champagnes of great purity and a strong personality, perfect for buying wine online for enthusiasts of great Champagne growths and rare wines.
