The story began in\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e1991, when David and \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eEmmanuelle Herblin began cultivating vineyards across Cerseuil, Troissy, and Bouquigny on clay-limestone slopes overlooking the left bank of the Marne. The estate’s identity is deeply personal: after David’s tragic accident in 2014, local growers helped Emmanuelle finish the season and make the harvest, and that spirit of collaboration still defines the cuvée today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003e“Les Coquelicots” means poppies, and the flower is used as a symbol of freedom, rebirth, and resilience—a fitting emblem for both the wine and the family behind it. The wine is still made in collaboration with growers from Cerseuil, and the cuvée uses a 70\/30 Meunier-Chardonnay blend, with 5 g\/L dosage and disgorgement using a Meunier liqueur based on a 2014–2023 perpetual blend, which adds continuity and a subtle reserve-wine signature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"font-semibold leading-tight text-pretty mb-2 mt-4 [.has-inline-images_\u0026amp;]:clear-end text-lg first:mt-0 md:text-lg [hr+\u0026amp;]:mt-4\" id=\"why-youll-love-it\"\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"marker:text-quiet list-disc pl-8\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003eIt has a distinctive Marne Valley identity, with Meunier giving fruit, roundness, and charm, while Chardonnay adds lift and tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003eThe wine feels both \u003cstrong\u003epersonal and authentic\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a compelling family-and-community backstory that resonates with thoughtful Champagne buyers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003eIt’s versatile in the glass: fresh, textured, and easy to enjoy, with enough character to work for both casual sipping and serious Champagne service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"font-semibold leading-tight text-pretty mb-2 mt-4 [.has-inline-images_\u0026amp;]:clear-end text-lg first:mt-0 md:text-lg [hr+\u0026amp;]:mt-4\" id=\"how-to-serve-it\"\u003eHow To Serve It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"marker:text-quiet list-disc pl-8\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003eServe well-chilled at about 45–48°F to keep the wine bright and focused while preserving its textural detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003eUse a all purpose white wine stem rather than a narrow flute to accenutate orchard fruit, floral notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003ePair it with fried chicken, pork belly, charcuterie, oysters, or salty savory snacks; the low dosage and lively acidity make it especially food\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/3628\/8822\/files\/Champagne_ELEA_754.jpg?v=1785476014\" alt='MV Champagne Elea \"Les Coquelicots de Cerseuil\" Extra Brut' style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"SommSelect","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47021579403318,"sku":"SOMM2607-ELEMVCHA-750","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/3628\/8822\/files\/MVChampagneEleaLeVindeSaFemmeExtraBrut.png?v=1785350616","url":"https:\/\/sommselect.com\/products\/mv-champagne-elea-le-vin-de-sa-femme-extra-brut","provider":"SommSelect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
