Champagne Michel Furdyna la loge brut

This Champagne has a lively mousse and a beautiful golden color. On the nose, you’ll find notes of ripe fruit, brioche, and floral hints. On the palate, it is both powerful and refined, with an elegant structure and a long, fresh finish. Made from 100% Pinot Noir, grown on chalky soils in the Côte des Bar. This cuvée is aged 24 months sur lattes, which contributes to its complexity and finesse.

Serving suggestions:
Excellent as an aperitif, but also pairs beautifully with poultry, smoked salmon, foie gras, or refined cheeses.

Additional information:
La Loge Brut is an expressive Champagne from an independent family producer. Champagne Michel Furdyna is located in the Côte des Bar and follows the principles of sustainable viticulture, certified with the Terra Vitis label.

Champagne House Michel Furdyna is a family-run estate in the Côte des Bar region in southern Champagne. It was founded in 1974 by Michel and Marie-Noëlle Furdyna, and today it is run by their son Matthieu, who has been active in the estate for over fifteen years.

The family cultivates about 9.5 hectares of vineyards, spread across six villages in the region, including Celles-sur-Ource, Gyé-sur-Seine, and Landreville. Their vineyards are certified according to sustainable farming principles and carry both the Terra Vitis and Haute Valeur Environnementale (HVE) labels, reflecting their strong commitment to ecological and responsible winemaking.

Michel Furdyna specializes in Pinot Noir, which makes up about 85% of their vineyard plantings. They also grow Chardonnay, but notably work with rare, nearly forgotten grape varieties such as Pinot Blanc, Arbane, and Petit Meslier. This enables them to produce unique Champagnes that are both authentic and original.

Their range is remarkably diverse. The Brut Réserve and Brut Réserve Nature are classic, elegant house cuvées with a perfect balance of freshness and fruit. A special mention goes to the cuvée “La Secrète,” an exceptional Champagne made from six different grape varieties, including heritage varietals. This cuvée has won several awards, including three stars in the Guide Hachette des Vins and a score of 89/100 from Decanter.

The “La Désirée” Blanc de Blancs, a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc, stands out for its finesse and aromatic depth. For lovers of refined vintage Champagnes, there is the Prestige Brut, a millésime produced only in outstanding vintages. This Champagne is aged for several years in bottle and reveals complex aromas of citrus, almond, and vanilla. It was awarded 95/100 by Decanter and won a gold medal at the Vinalies.

What truly sets Michel Furdyna apart is the combination of tradition and innovation. The family manages the entire production process themselves, from vineyard to bottle. Their goal is to create Champagnes that express their terroir, while also offering something surprising to wine enthusiasts. Thanks to their dedication to quality and sustainability, their Champagnes are appreciated by connoisseurs — often at an excellent price-quality ratio.
