Unicorn wines

Marc Augustin

We met Marc and Emmanuelle on a trip to Champagne, trying to reconcile ourselves with an area that had recently given us many dislikes, our friend Niko Dukan, a great connoisseur of the area, spoke to us about them for the first time.

Once we tasted their wines, absent of all chemical products and following the principles of biodynamics, we fell in love with them, soon after we asked them to collaborate in Unicorn wines and their answer was affirmative.

We believe that Marc and other Champagne vignerons are at the forefront of a new movement, with the total elimination of chemical products in the vineyard and in the production, in turn complementary, to the one that Selosse or Lassaigne started a few years ago, where They spoke of looking back at the vineyard.

Now I leave you some lines made by the Augustin family to get to know them better.

THE WORLD CONSISTS OF 4 ELEMENTS, ALSO CUVÉE CHAMPAGNE AUGUSTIN.

Inspired by biodynamics, the world of cuvées was impressed by Emmanuelle, Marc's wife. She has influenced the spirit and image of the AUGUSTIN Champagne range. The identity, the names, the colors, the materials, everything is done in line with the philosophy of the house.
The AUGUSTIN Champagne wines are the translation of a conviction: “The world is a whole and every action leads to a reaction. Let's choose positive actions that promote harmony ”.

“My vineyard is like a canvas. Making the most of each element, letting alchemy do its work, beauty explodes. This is how our cuvées are made

MARC HAS RECEIVED A PRECIOUS LEGACY: THE LOVE OF LIFE IN ALL ITS FORMS.

He shares these values with his wife Emmanuelle. Their training, their reading and above all their meetings convinced them of the merits of contemporary Biodynamics. Respect for living beings through biodynamics is here more than a method, it is a philosophy of life.

“My main motivation has always been to practice clean viticulture, impacting our living environment as little as possible. »

YOUR DECISIONS.

These choices were the result of an awareness of the value of their heritage and a desire for constant improvement. Each time, these inspirations have proven fruitful and visionary. Emmanuelle and Marc, in turn, cultivate this spirit of openness and transmission. Domaine AUGUSTIN is in the heart of Champagne and its terroirs and grape varieties guarantee excellence: Pinot noir, king of the Montagne de Reims and Chardonnay, which reigns in the Côte des Blancs, come together. These two forces, far from opposing each other, complement each other and cause a balance.

AUGUSTIN Champagne is born from the work of 2 families of winegrowers who together add up to 9 generations.

THE WINES OF AUGUSTIN CHAMPAGNE ARE LIKE EMMANUELLE AND MARC.

“Supporting the wine throughout the production process is one of our priorities. The wine is alive, it is sensitive to the manipulations it undergoes "

Marc AUGUSTIN then asks to respect it at each stage of winemaking. As in the management of the care of the vine, the creation of Champagnes Augustin is done without artifice or chemicals to guarantee respect for the living and the expression of the nature of the earth.

“Preparing and then tasting our Champagnes is part of the magic”
