L'Invitation by Huré Frères is above all a story of terroir and passion, a Brut Réserve cuvée where the emblematic grape varieties of Champagne are gracefully blended together. Assembled from 20% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir, and 40% Pinot Meunier, this Champagne draws its complexity from the limestone soils of Ludes and Villedommange, as well as from the clays of Vavray-le-Grand.
Here, Champagne is not merely a bubble, but the fruit of artisanal expertise, where every step – from hand harvesting to extended aging on lees – is designed to reveal the soul of the terroir. The house philosophy? An elegance without ostentation, an accessible complexity, and that touch of generosity that makes their cuvées invitations to celebrate. For at Huré Frères, they do not produce wine, they create moments.
Their secret? A solera, this aging system inspired by great Spanish wines, which allows reserve wines to be integrated for a consistent style, year after year. A unique signature in Champagne, where the memory of past vintages mingles with the freshness of young wines, creating champagnes that are both deep and luminous.
The nose opens on a gourmet and sun-drenched bouquet: mirabelle plum and ripe plum dance with cherry, while notes of toasted bread add a touch of complexity, a nod to the long months spent on lees. On the palate, it is an explosion of freshness and softness, where the chalky minerality of the Montagne de Reims marries a silky, almost caressing texture. Dried fruits, discreet yet persistent, crown a harmonious finish, where each bubble seems to prolong the pleasure.
Born from a meticulous blend – 40% Pinot Noir for structure, 40% Pinot Meunier for fruitiness, and 20% Chardonnay for finesse –, this Champagne draws its consistency from the art of the solera, where 25 to 40% reserve wines bring depth and continuity. Aged 30 to 36 months on lees, it embodies the perfect balance between maturity and vivacity, between tradition and modernity.
L'Invitation is this Champagne to be savoured without ceremony, yet one that never fails to surprise. As an aperitif, where its fruity aromas awaken the palate, or paired with simple yet refined dishes – fresh oysters, sushi, or even a herb-roasted chicken. A bottle to open without delay, to transform an ordinary moment into one that truly deserves to be remembered.
What is the exact proportion of reserve wines used in this blend?
This blend incorporates between 25 and 40% reserve wines, preserved according to the solera principle to guarantee a consistent style and aromatic complexity.
Why is this Champagne aged on lees for a variable period of time?
The aging on lees lasts between 30 and 36 months to allow the Champagne to develop its structure, finesse, and complex aromas, while respecting the natural rhythm of each cuvée.
Which specific terroirs contribute to this blend?
The grapes come from the terroirs of Ludes and Villedommange in the Montagne de Reims (1er Cru), as well as from Vavray-le-Grand in the Coteaux Vitryats, each contributing distinct mineral and fruity characteristics.
Can this Champagne be cellared after disgorgement?
Although it is ready to be enjoyed upon release, it is recommended to let it rest between 6 months and 1 year after disgorgement to refine its aromas and balance.
What is the impact of partial malolactic fermentation on the aromatic profile?
Partial malolactic fermentation adds a touch of roundness while preserving the freshness and vivacity of the fruity aromas, thus balancing the mineral structure of the Champagne.
Which dishes pair particularly well with this Champagne?
Its freshness and complexity make it an ideal companion for aperitifs, seafood, grilled fish, or soft-rind cheeses such as Brie de Meaux.
