Ratafia : our new cuvée...s

Ratafia is and alcohol made from grape juice. Fermentation is blocked by the addition of alcohol which keep all the sugar of the fruit (they don't have to be transformed in alcohol). Making Ratafia is a project that we are working on for 3 years. As all the Champagne Henriet Bazin cuvées, we wanted to develop it with passion and respect of the aromas of our terroir.


It was during the harvest 2009 that we selcted the juice from our most beautiful plots of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. We selected the juice of the "cuvée", it means, the juice of highest quality while we press.


















To be sure to obtain a wide aromatic range, each grape variety has been shared in some oajk barels and canisters in glass.



After several months of ageing, we just put this nice drink bottled by taking the traditional approach of the "pigeage" to avoir any filtration.

We will propose you soon 3 differents cuvées of Ratafia :

Enjoy the nice color.
