Stéphane Regnault

Today we're travelling with our imagination to the charming region of the Côte des Blancs, the heart of Champagne production. Here we find the winery of Stéphane Regnault, a producer who embodies passion, tradition and innovation. The winery is located in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, a village renowned for its elegant and mineral wines. Here, Stéphane carefully and diligently manages 1.5 hectares of vineyards, producing around 15,000 bottles a year. Stéphane Regnault is not a traditional winemaker. His story is a journey through diverse professional experiences: from sommelier in London to aerospace engineer in Paris. However, in 2007, he decided to return to his roots, taking over his father's vineyards and transforming them into a cutting-edge company. From the very beginning, he abandoned the use of herbicides and pesticides, embracing a more sustainable viticulture. In 2017, he began the process of obtaining organic certification, which he officially achieved with the 2020 harvest. This commitment to nature is reflected in his wines, which express authenticity and purity. One of the peculiarities of Regnault's method is the use of a ‘perpetual reserve’ in the production of his Champagnes. This technique, which involves adding a small amount of wine from previous years, enriches the aromatic and structural profile, giving the wines exceptional depth and longevity. It is as if each bottle contains not only the essence of a single year, but also the memory of all the seasons that have passed.
