Description
What kind of wine it is
The Champagne Blanc de Noirs Les Vignes de Trélou Extra Brut, produced by Tristan Hyest, stands out for its brilliant straw yellow colour and fine, persistent perlage. Made using the Traditional Method, this sparkling wine is crafted from a blend of Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir grapes, revealing a mineral aromatic profile enriched with notes of white-fleshed fruit and hints of yeast. On the palate, it is fresh, vibrant and pleasantly smooth, culminating in a slightly savoury finish. The balanced structure perfectly reflects the characteristics of the black grape varieties used.
Where it comes from
This wine originates from the Champagne region, in the area of Trélou-sur-Marne, a place that defines the authentic identity of the appellation. Tristan Hyest, a family-run business operating as both grower and producer, is dedicated to preserving the historic heritage of the local vineyards.

This constant dedication in the vineyard helps to shape the wine’s essential and precise profile, enhancing its inherent minerality and ensuring a consistent taste expression.
How it is produced
Vinification follows the rules of the Traditional Method, with ageing on the lees encouraging the development of characteristic fragrant aromas. A distinctive feature of the process is the use of the solera system in partially filled barrels, a technique that gives the wine marked depth and a strong stylistic continuity over time. The Extra Brut dosage supports a dry, taut and clean taste, with a long and well-defined development. At the table, this Blanc de Noirs pairs well with sushi, fried fish, shellfish and soft cheeses, ensuring a harmonious tasting experience on every occasion.
