The story

The winemaker

Champagne Régis Poissinet is a family business from Cuchery, in the heart of the Vallée de la Marne, where the family has tended vines for generations. The estate was founded in 1947, and in 1974 the first bottles were released under its own name. In 2008 Régis Poissinet took over the estate and set in motion a profound cultural and philosophical change: he committed radically to biodynamic viticulture, with a living, balanced soil as the foundation for expressive champagnes. Today he works alongside the sixth generation, his son-in-law Maxime, who is actively involved in vineyard and cellar.

Grape & terroir

The terroir

The vineyards cover 7 hectares, spread across 35 plots in Cuchery, Baslieux, Leuvrigny, Troissy and Mareuil-le-Port, among others. The estate specialises above all in Pinot Meunier, complemented by a smaller planting of Chardonnay and one plot of Pinot Noir. The soil consists of clay-limestone and flint-rich loam, giving wines with lightly smoky or gunflint aromas. The average age of the vines is 40 years.

Expertise

Craftsmanship & philosophy

Régis Poissinet follows a biodynamic approach without herbicides or synthetic products. Soil fertility is strengthened with homemade compost, and encouraging fauna and flora is central to the work. In 2022 the estate was officially certified organic. The philosophy in the cellar follows on seamlessly: spontaneous fermentations with indigenous yeasts, minimal intervention, ageing in both stainless steel and oak barrels, low sulphite dosing and an extremely restrained use of dosage.

Tasting

Style & highlights

Régis Poissinet's champagnes are linear, lively and energetic. What sets his wines apart is the pronounced minerality and salinity that runs through the entire range, a rarity in this region of Champagne. They show a layered aromatic profile, with primary, secondary and tertiary aromas. The estate is among the pioneers of a new, nature-driven movement in Champagne, where craftsmanship, terroir and personality take centre stage.

Fantastic experience with Selected by Dronk

Fantastic experience with Selected by Dronk. The contact was incredibly friendly, personal and involved; you can tell there is real passion and knowledge behind it. The range in particular really appealed to me: no standard big commercial houses, but a really lovely selection of smaller and lesser-known champagne houses with plenty of character and quality. The order was also perfectly packaged and neatly delivered. I am very happy with the service and the selection and will certainly order here more often in the future.

The best in champagne

Selected by Dronk is without a doubt THE place for champagne lovers. The selection is enormously broad, with something for everyone, but the Henry de Vaugency in particular is a real gem. What makes Selected by Dronk extra special is the passion and knowledge they have about their products. On top of that, the service is always reliable: fast delivery, well packaged and extremely careful.

The first but certainly not the last time!

Placed our first order this week and it was a great success. The glasses and champagnes were impeccably and very carefully packaged. The speed of delivery (within a day) was also very pleasant, as it meant we could enjoy a wonderful champagne that same evening. We will definitely order again!

Ordered the Italesse Etoilé Sparkle glasses

Ordered the Italesse Etoilé Sparkle champagne glasses. Truly, beautiful glasses! And always nice to buy from a small webshop. Given as a gift and of course it was very well received! Highly recommended.

Excellent, 5 stars!

Had an incredibly good experience, with the friendliest staff! The champagne tastes excellent. Combined with the beautiful glasses, every dinner is a great pleasure! Thank you so much!

Very fast delivery

Very fast delivery. After ordering I discovered a mistake in the delivery address (my mistake). I reported it right away and it was picked up immediately too. So very quick to respond. On top of that a nice range and definitely worth repeating.

Good communication and fast delivery

Good communication and fast delivery. I ordered wine glasses and one glass was broken. Within a few minutes it was arranged for a new glass to be sent.

Top-class in champagne!

Friendly, knowledgeable staff, clear communication, fast delivery and above all wonderful champagnes.
