Aurelien Lurquin Coteaux Champenois Blanc Les Crayeres du Levant a L'etat pur 2022

Aurelien Lurquin’s Les Crayères du Levant à l’État Pur 2022 is a rare still white wine from Champagne, produced under the Coteaux Champenois appellation rather than as sparkling Champagne. The cuvée showcases the region’s chalk-rich identity in a pure, finely textured style, offering a distinctive alternative to traditional bubbly.

Tasting Notes
Bright and pale in appearance, this 2022 Coteaux Champenois Blanc is expected to express the freshness and mineral character associated with Champagne’s chalk soils. The nose suggests citrus, orchard fruit and subtle chalky nuances, while the palate is focused and energetic, with crisp acidity, a dry finish and a gently structured texture. The wine’s balance and mineral drive make it enjoyable in its youth, while careful cellaring should allow greater complexity to develop over the next several years. As the exact grape composition is not specified, the character may vary slightly depending on the final blend and vintage conditions.

Production
This still Champagne comes from chalk-influenced vineyard sites, reflected in the cuvée’s name, Les Crayères du Levant. The wine is made as a still white rather than undergoing a second fermentation in bottle, allowing the fruit, acidity and mineral character of the terroir to remain at the forefront. Detailed information on harvesting and vinification is not provided.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled at approximately 10–12°C. Its bright acidity and mineral profile should pair beautifully with oysters, shellfish, sashimi, grilled fish, roast poultry and fresh goat’s cheese. Decanting is not essential, though a short period in a carafe can help reveal additional aromatic detail if the wine is initially reserved.

Producer
Aurelien Lurquin is associated with the grower Champagne tradition, where the focus is placed on expressing individual vineyard sites and the character of the vintage. This Coteaux Champenois bottling highlights the producer’s still-wine approach and offers a more intimate, terroir-driven view of Champagne than the region’s better-known sparkling wines. Further producer details were not provided.
