Eric Collinet – Temporis – Champagne

98% Pinot Noir, 2% Chardonnay

Originally from the Limousin, I settled in Bragelogne-Beauvoir in 1987, a village at the southern tip of the Côte des Bar in Champagne. I farm 2.25 ha of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, plus truffle trees, all organically. My work follows the seasons and the rhythm of nature — just one word: TIME!

Terroir

Nestled among the vines, Bragelogne-Beauvoir sits in the southern Côte des Bar, Champagne. Kimmeridgian clay-limestone soils lend minerality and salinity to the wines. The soils also suit truffle production.

Grapes

2.25 ha split between Pinot Noir (83%) and Chardonnay (17%), vines averaging 33 years old. Certified organic, with biodynamic practices in the vineyard, and agroforestry since 2018.

Winemaking

A cooperative system with EcoCert organic certification ensures quality, consistency and traceability at every step.
