Champagne AOC Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs 'Sophos' (750 ml. wooden box) Waris Hubert
Champagne AOC Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs “Sophos” by Waris Hubert is an authentic expression of the Grand Cru of Avize, in the heart of the Côte des Blancs, where chalky soils give minerality and tension to 100% Chardonnay. Grapes come from the historic parcel “Les Maladries”, with vines around 90 years old, providing unique depth and complexity. Vinification in oak barrels, with partial malolactic fermentation, and over 5 years aging on the lees add structure, creaminess, and aromas of ripe citrus, white fruit, flowers, and chalky notes. With a low dosage of 4 g/L, it preserves elegance and freshness, perfect with shellfish, oysters, noble fish, and gourmet dishes.

Waris Hubert
The Waris Hubert Maison was founded in Avize, in the heart of the Côte des Blancs, where deep chalk soils and terroir vocation give life to refined Chardonnay. Established in 1999 by Olivier Waris and Caroline Hubert, the estate combines family tradition with a modern vision, creating a style that highlights purity, aromatic precision, and mineral elegance. The vineyards include Grand Cru and Premier Cru parcels in Avize, Chouilly, Oger, Cramant, and Ay, among the most prestigious areas for producing high-quality Champagne.
The production philosophy is clear: respect for nature, enhancing each parcel, and vinifications aimed at expressing the nuances of every cru. Fermentation takes place partly in stainless steel and partly in oak, with lees aging always exceeding 24 months, giving complexity and depth. The result is cuvées with a distinctive identity, balancing tensionand softness, citrus freshness and toasted notes, floral aromas and chalky minerality.
Every bottle of Waris Hubert carries the signature of a young Maison, already recognized among Champagne’s most promising producers. From the Chardonnay-only selections, marked by verticality and mineral drive, to the richer blends with Pinot Noir and Meunier, the style remains consistent: essential, elegant, vibrant.
Choosing Waris Hubert means embarking on a sensory journey through the heart of the Côte des Blancs, enjoying Champagnes that combine craftsmanship with contemporary finesse. On Vino45 you can explore a curated selection of their labels, ideal for discovering the authentic character of the region.
Address:
14 Rue d'Oger, 51190 Avize, France
Color: In English the wine shows a bright straw yellow with greenish highlights, a fine and persistent bead enhancing the purity of Chardonnay.
Nose: The bouquet reveals fresh citrus, white flowers and chalky mineral tones typical of the Côte des Blancs, enriched by green apple and fresh almond.
Taste: On the palate it is tense and linear, with vibrant acidity and saline minerality, finishing dry and precise as expected from an Extra Brut, with a long citrus persistence.
