Harvest 2025 at Aspasie: The Art of Cultivating Authenticity

Every autumn, Champagne awakens to the rhythm of pruning shears, the songs of pickers among the vines, and the sweet scent of ripened grapes. In Brouillet, in the heart of the Marne Valley, Maison Aspasie continues a timeless ritual: the harvest. A moment that is at once technical, human, and poetic when the land reveals its full character, and excellence is nurtured, cluster by cluster.

An Exceptional Terroir: Brouillet, Beating Heart of the Marne Valley

Nestled in Brouillet, Maison Aspasie has cultivated a rare viticultural heritage for five generations. This quintessentially Champenois village, surrounded by forests and sun-drenched hillsides, rests on soils rich in chalk, clay, and sand elements that give the grapes their minerality, freshness, and aromatic elegance.

The terroir of Brouillet stands out for its geological diversity, allowing each grape variety to express its unique personality:

• Pinot Meunier, the emblematic grape of the Marne Valley,
• Pinot Noir, which brings depth and structure,
• and Chardonnay, synonymous with finesse and balance.
