Delicate, luminous pink in the glass, with impossibly fine, creamy bubbles. The nose floats between redcurrant, crushed strawberry, rhubarb and a hint of roasted plum, with a soft buttery note underneath. On the palate it’s vibrant and precise, with raspberries, wild strawberries, a touch of cream, all carried by Chardonnay-driven freshness and finished with a hint of raspberry leaf and limestone minerality. It's elegant, poised, and endlessly drinkable. Think strawberries and cream, but in pointe shoes.

This is Champagne with emotion at its core. Terre d’Émotion is Jean-Marc Charpentier’s love letter to his land, his family, and time itself. Eight generations deep in Charly-sur-Marne, Jean-Marc is one of those rare growers who blends serious technical mastery with intuition, sensitivity and a deep respect for nature. Since introducing biodynamics back in 2009 (long before it became fashionable), he’s been quietly reshaping what Marne Valley Champagne can be: expressive, precise, and alive. His vineyards sit on steep, limestone-rich slopes across 72 individual plots, each farmed with obsessive care and a gentle, human touch. For this rosé, Jean-Marc went back to the family archives and pulled out something special. Instead of the usual Pinot-heavy approach, he flipped the script with a striking 88% Chardonnay - pure freshness, lift and grace - then added a hint of red wine made from Pinot Meunier grown in Les Chauffours, the estate’s oldest Meunier plot, planted in 1961. That fruit, soaked in limestone and silex from the Charly-sur-Marne amphitheatre, brings depth and soul. A full 60 months on the lees later, the result is Champagne that feels less like a product and more like a performance.
