01
Terroir
The wine has to speak of a place. A village, a parcel, a recognisable terroir. That is the first thing we listen for.
MAISON · REIMS
Champagne, at the source.
A small selection of grower Champagnes, being built between Reims and Hong Kong.
THE MAISON
A short list, built one cellar at a time.
We are looking for one thing: a wine you recognise at the first sip. A village, a parcel, a signature.
The list will stay short. We would rather know a few growers well than carry many.
THE SELECTION
Three bottles on the list.
Champagne in its most honest form. Coteaux Champenois, the still face of the region. Ratafia, the aperitif of the houses. The growers we are choosing all farm their own vines and bottle under their own name.
FROM THE KITCHEN
“The test is always the same: would you pour a second glass?”
WHAT WE STAND FOR
What we are looking for.
Four short criteria. We wrote them down so we can be held to them.
02
Scale
Small growers, small plots, small bottlings. We are after growers who farm what they know.
03
Craft
The grower is responsible end to end. From the vines to the bottle, the decisions and the gestures are theirs. So is the name.
04
Provenance
Every bottle is traceable to a parcel, a hand, a year. Nothing arrives in Hong Kong without a clear line behind it.
FOR THE TRADE
Restaurants, sommeliers, wine programs.
We are putting together a short list of partners in Hong Kong for when the import lands. Allocations will be small, conversations direct. If you run a list and want to know what we are bringing, write early.
THE MAISON
Write to the Maison.
For enquiries, early allocations, or a tasting on our next trip to Hong Kong. Reims tastings on appointment.
