Franck began his career as a chemical engineer, though fate had other plans when tragedy struck with the loss of his younger brother. This profound moment brought him back to the family estate in 1994, where he committed himself to a new, more harmonious path. His wife, Isabelle, is a microbiologist who also has a long family history in \u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eChampagne\u003c\/span\u003e and helps with crafting the house’s immaculate bubblies.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTheir dedication to converting the estate’s vineyards to biodynamic farming in 2002 was a bold move, but one that has since defined Franck’s signature approach, which he calls \u003cem\u003e“energetic biodynamic farming and spiritual engineering.”\u003c\/em\u003e It was actually his past as a chemical engineer working with military members to cope with chemical warfare that led him to make the move toward a more natural way. He was astounded to find many of the same harsh chemicals used in viticulture, and vowed to farm his estate using only biodynamic principles. He even goes so far as to use naturopathic and energy healing methods, believing that all living things – even soil and vines – have a level of energy, and that when we treat them with the utmost respect and carefully listen to their needs, they will produce the purest and freshest expressions of wine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis \u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eChampagne\u003c\/span\u003e is a clear confirmation of Franck’s semi-unorthodox ways – with a beautiful golden color, the wine beckons with the scent of fresh green apple and red pear aromas, with hints of buttery shortbread biscuits and a sort of lanolin, wet wool character. The palate introduces a floral plum blossom and bright cherry note, with a vivacious minerality that pops and rocks its way across the palate. Exotic notes of bananas foster and cardamom-spiced orange cream build into a round and caressing finish, with a final flourish of limestone and chalk to leave things dry and thoroughly cleansed for the next greedy sip. Quite the range of flavors, textures, and sensations for a \u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eBrut Nature\u003c\/span\u003e – yet all done with a careful precision that never feels jagged or incomplete. We’re simply blown away by this beautiful \u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eChampagne\u003c\/span\u003e – one that is sure to uplift and commemorate the occasion on which you choose to open it!
