Guillaume Sergent Champagne Pataphysique Extra Brut 2020

Guillaume Sergent’s Pataphysique Extra Brut 2020 is a distinctive Blanc de Noirs Champagne made entirely from Pinot Meunier. Produced in the traditional method from a small, independent estate in Vrigny, it combines the grape’s red-fruited character with a taut, mineral style and refined, persistent bubbles. The estate’s roots date back to 1842, adding a sense of continuity to this contemporary grower Champagne.

Tasting Notes
Bright golden-yellow in appearance, the wine carries a fine, continuous stream of bubbles. Its aromatic profile opens with red berries and develops greater depth through extended lees ageing, showing subtle autolytic complexity and a savoury mineral character. On the palate, Pataphysique Extra Brut is fresh, dry and notably saline, with a well-defined, vertical structure. The delicate mousse brings elegance and balance, while the restrained dosage allows the purity of the Pinot Meunier and the wine’s terroir to remain at the forefront. Its structure and freshness give it excellent potential to develop further in bottle, gaining additional savoury and biscuit-like complexity over time.

Production
The Champagne comes from vineyards in Vrigny, in the heart of the Champagne region, where Guillaume Sergent farms less than two hectares according to organic and sustainable principles. The approach is centred on preserving vine balance and expressing the character of the site. Vinification avoids new oak in order to maintain the freshness and clarity of the base wine. A second fermentation in bottle, followed by extended ageing on the lees, refines the texture and complexity of the mousse. It is finished with an Extra Brut dosage for a crisp, precise style.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled at approximately 8–10°C. This Champagne is an excellent aperitif and pairs particularly well with oysters, shellfish, sashimi, fresh goat’s cheese and delicate poultry dishes. Its saline freshness also complements lightly smoked fish and refined seafood starters. Decanting is not necessary; pour gently into tulip-shaped Champagne glasses to preserve both the aromas and the fine perlage.

Producer
Guillaume Sergent is an independent grower based in Vrigny, working with a small estate whose history reaches back to 1842. Since beginning to vinify on the property in 2009, the producer has focused on expressing the character of the local terroir through precise, small-scale Champagne production. The estate’s organic and sustainable philosophy, combined with its dedication to Pinot Meunier, results in Champagnes that are dry, energetic and authentic to their origin.
