First made in 2009, L’Opiniâtre is Sébastien’s inaugural zero sulphur wine—something few producers were experimenting with at that time. As Sébastien says, he created this cuvée to prove that a great zero-sulphur Champagne was not only possible but could show purity and age effortlessly. This release is 100% Verzy Chardonnay from vines planted in clay, limestone and flint soils. The wine saw full malo, a 66-month élevage and zero dosage.

Reviews

“The 2017 Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs L’Opiniatre La Sélection (Sans Soufre), 100% Chardonnay done in barrel, is nicely lifted and a touch ethereal. It is a decidedly understated, airy Blanc de Blancs, one that emphasizes briskness, energy and saline cut. I find it a touch on the austere side, perhaps because of the lack of dosage, but not unpleasantly so.”
