Operating as a négociant, Alexandre believes it’s all about sourcing and works directly with his growers to obtain high-quality grapes. “No middleman,” says Alexandre , “I want to be the first person to select the grapes and I take all the best sources I can find.” Henri Champliau produces both Charmat-method wines and traditional method Crémant de Bourgogne.

Wild Miss Méthode Ancestrale Rosé Demi-Sec is produced from 100% Gamay from Beaujolais. The ancestral method captures the carbon dioxide of the primary fermentation in tank. When the fermentation reaches 7.5% alcohol, Alexandre drops the temperature to -2.0 degrees Celsius, halting the fermentation and capturing carbonation and any unfermented sugar. It is then bottled with an addition of sulfur dioxide.
