IdentityCHÂTEAU GALOUPET
Château Galoupet is a progressive wine estate of 77 hectares of protected woodland and 69 hectares of vineyards, certified organic since May 2023.The estate was acquired by Moët Hennessy in 2019 – the first Cru Classé in its portfolio – with a clearly defined vision: craft elevated expressions of an exceptional terroir with utmost respect for nature and the environment, from ground to glass. For four years the team has worked closely with a community of experts to restore a rare ecosystem and adapt its viticultural practices to respect the natural balance of the vine in its environment. Home to just one of 12 queen bee fertilization stations in the world, the estate aims to express the full potential of the terroir in a sanctuary for biodiversity while being a lighthouse for sustainability within LVMH, and for environmental practices in the wine industry.

The 2022 vintage is a rare expression of a multi-faceted terroir and masterful precision in the winery : a Rosé de Provence crafted with meticulous care that clearly reveals the new direction of the Château Galoupet Cru Classé wine signature. This new addition to the Maison’s portfolio allows for an enlightening vertical tasting with Château Galoupet Cru Classé Rosé 2021, which is now presenting evolutive notes recognized by wine experts. It is fascinating to see how our wines are evolving.

A UNIQUE ECOSYSTEM
Nature thrives in the Château Galoupet ecosystem and plays a vital role in the vineyard, encompassing the vines and the protected woodland.The vast array of indigenous flora and fauna that surrounds the vineyard acts as a buffer which protects the vines by absorbing the impact of a changing environment, including strong heat and wind, while the insects deter pests, avoiding the need for chemicals and additional human intervention.Château Galoupet respects sustainable practices, including agroforestry and cover cropping to protect soil life and support the regeneration of nature.

RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT, FROM SOIL TO GLASS
Château Galoupet aims to consistently give Nature more than it takes ; through packaging crafted with care, energy-efficient facilities, plot-by-plot management and agroforestry. Château Galoupet Cru Classé Rosé is presented in an award-winning amber glass bottle made from 80% recycled glass and weighing 499 grams. The wine is crafted from 100% estate-grown grapes and each step in the winemaking process is traceable via a QR code on the label.OUR EXCEPTIONAL TALENTS
I’m the Deputy Head of Wine Operations at Krug. I’m involved in making our champagnes at every stage, from preparation of the harvests right through bottling. Everything starts in July with the “abreuvage”, watering the barrels to get them ready for the juice from the grapes during the harvest. Then we monitor the vinification, with the juice still in the barrels being transformed into wine thanks to alcoholic fermentation in September. After that, following a period of rest called “clarification”, the racking begins to separate the wine from the lees, rendering it clear, between December and February.
