Vincent Couche- Ratafia Pinot Noir

Vincent COUCHE discovered the vines and the secrets of their soils at the age of 8, with his mother. Captivated by this powerful and fascinating nature, he trained in Beaune and followed specialized training in oenology: to gain experience and discover new skills, he multiplied internships in Switzerland and Germany before setting up his estate in 1996.

His encounter with agricultural engineers marked a turning point: in 1998, this nature enthusiast switched to organic and biodynamic cultivation , convinced that the secret of a wine’s excellence lies in the perfect balance between the soils, the vine and its environment. His estate was certified Demeter in 2008.

But the winemaker goes even further, seeking in each bottle produced at the estate, the perfect harmony of flavors and aromas that will provide emotion at each tasting. He composes and creates the blends himself, adding the delicious and precise final touch that makes his wines unique. It is in the heart of the Côte des Bar, in the Aube, near the village of Buxeuil, that Vincent Couche set up his 15-hectare estate. A no-brainer for this nature lover and perfect connoisseur of wine, who strives to make each cuvée a product of excellence.

About Ratafia

It is in the heart of the Côte des Bar, in the Aube, near the village of Buxeuil that Vincent Couche has been there cultivating his vines in organic and biodynamic agriculture. Always produced in small quantities by a few Winegrowers, Champagne ratafia is a unique and very aromatic natural sweet wine. Exclusively coming from grapes grown from Champagne region. By mixing fresh grape juice – not fermented – with pure alcohol, the alcoholic fermentation process is therefore immediately stopped. Doing so allows for the preservation of the original flavours and aromas of the grapes.
