Liebart-Regnier “Les Sols Bruns” Brut Champagne NV – France
Wine Overview
The Liebart-Regnier Les Sols Bruns Brut Champagne NV is a refined grower Champagne crafted from a balanced blend of 60% Meunier, 20% Pinot Noir, and 20% Chardonnay. This cuvée beautifully reflects the character of Champagne’s Baslieux-sous-Châtillon and Vauciennes terroirs, where marl and clay-limestone soils deliver both freshness and depth.

Sustainability is at the heart of Liebart-Regnier’s philosophy. The estate has been HVE (High Environmental Value) certified since 2015, VDC (Sustainable Viticulture in Champagne) certified since 2018, and achieved organic certification in 2023—making this Champagne not just delicious, but also a responsible choice for eco-conscious wine lovers.
