Pehu-Simonet Champagne Grand Cru Face Nord Brut : A Tense and Mineral-Driven Montagne de Reims Champagne with Precision, Depth and Red-Fruit Energy

Pehu-Simonet Champagne Grand Cru Face Nord Brut is a characterful Champagne from the northern slopes of the Montagne de Reims, crafted by a small grower estate known for organic farming and single-terroir expression. The cuvée comes entirely from Grand Cru villages such as Verzenay, Verzy, and Sillery, showcasing the power and structure of Pinot Noir-dominant Champagne with Chardonnay adding lift and finesse. The blend is typically around 70 to 75 percent Pinot Noir and 25 to 30 percent Chardonnay, with reserve wines and extended lees aging contributing depth and complexity.

In the glass, it shows a bright golden straw color with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose is expressive and layered, opening with red apple, cherry, citrus zest, and pear, followed by brioche, white flowers, almond, and subtle toasted pastry. A distinct chalky and mineral edge runs through the aromatics, reflecting the cool, north-facing Grand Cru terroirs. On the palate, it is dry, structured, and energetic, with a strong sense of tension and precision. The Pinot Noir brings red fruit depth and subtle richness, while Chardonnay provides citrus brightness and lift. Fine acidity drives the wine forward, giving it vibrancy and focus, while a chalky mineral backbone adds grip and length. The texture is both creamy from lees aging and linear from its mineral core, finishing long, snappy, and refreshing with notes of red currant, citrus peel, and wet stone.

Critics have rated this cuvée highly, generally in the 89 to 93 point range, praising its structure, mineral tension, and expressive red-fruit profile. It is considered a Champagne that benefits from air and pairs exceptionally well with food due to its dry, precise style.

Pehu-Simonet Champagne Grand Cru Face Nord Brut pairs beautifully with oysters, sashimi, sushi, grilled prawns, crab, smoked salmon, and light citrus-driven dishes. Its structure and salinity also make it excellent with creamy cheeses and refined seafood appetisers.
