Champagne Blanc de Noirs

Champagne Remue-Gaspard

Filip Remue left his native Flanders (Ninove) to settle in France at the end of the 1980s, out of love for Sophie Gaspard from Champagne. Based in Grauves, a few kilometres from Epernay, Champagne Remue-Gaspard farms around ten hectares of vines, spread between the Côte des Blancs, the Marne Valley and the Aube (Pinot Noir parcels). He sells a third of his production, an average of around 18,000 bottles a year. The remainder is sold to the major Champagne houses, such as Bollinger and Mumm. Filip trained on the job with his parents-in-law, before buying the family business with his wife and developing it considerably.

Filip Remue is also the man behind Domaine du Chant d'Eole, and the man who brought all the know-how needed to help it win the supreme distinction at the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles ("best bubble in the world" for the Cuvée Prestige 2014). In 2019, he sold his shares to the majority shareholder, the Ewbank family from Wespin, on whose land the estate's vines are planted - now the second largest in the Kingdom with 29 hectares in production. However, Filip Remue has not completely disappeared from the Belgian wine scene, as he is now consultant to the Marquise de Moulbaix estate, near Ath, whose 3 hectares of vines were harvested for the first time in 2020. The estate's first sparkling wine is expected in 2022. The château and its vineyards belong to a wealthy Ghent family, the Govaerts.


Blanc de Noirs "Secret de sœur

A tribute to the couple's two daughters, Joséphine and Victorine, this 100% Pinot Noir cuvée is extremely elegant. It has been aged on laths for four to five years before disgorging.
