Your guests know the big names. What stays with them — what brings them back — is the story they didn't expect. Claudette Thuillier, third-generation winemaker, works her vines in Beaunay, pronounced "Bonä", a quiet village in the Coteaux du Petit Morin, southwest of the Côte des Blancs.
Her Cuvée Éclectique doesn't seek to impress. It simply arrives.
A blend built for effortless drinking
65% Meunier, 30% Chardonnay, 5% Pinot Noir. Twenty-four months on lees. Brut dosage at 9g/L — precise, balanced, immediately pleasing. Full malolactic fermentation lends a silky texture and a round, approachable character that works from the very first sip.
Round. Subtle. Quietly elegant. What seasoned bar professionals call a character easy-drinker.
Why this cuvée belongs on your list
For bar managers and head sommeliers serving guests who know every major label by heart, the Cuvée Éclectique offers something different.
A story worth telling : a female winemaker in her third generation, a lesser-known terroir, a confidential production. Genuine versatility : perfect as a standalone aperitif, alongside a light summer salad, a delicate starter, or as the base for a refined Champagne cocktail. And consistency across batches — essential for anyone building a list around reliability.
Beaunay : a terroir made for the bar counter
The Coteaux du Petit Morin remains one of Champagne's best-kept secrets. Far from the celebrated appellations, shaped by clay-limestone soils, it produces wines of quiet character and real distinction. The kind of origin story that resonates with a sophisticated, international clientele — and that only you can tell them.
