Champagne AOC Extra Brut 'Estence' (750 ml.) Waris Hubert
Champagne Waris Hubert “Estence” Extra Brut is crafted from 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir grown in the Premier Cru vineyards of Grauves, in the Côte des Blancs, with an average vine age of 35 years. The chalky-clay soils impart striking mineral tension and freshness. Fermentation occurs at low temperature: part of the Chardonnay ages for 6 months in 600 L oak barrels, while the Pinot Noir rests in stainless steel to preserve aromatic purity. A 36-month lees aging adds creamy complexity, finesse, and pastry notes. With only 3 g/L dosage, it shows balance and precision. Aromas of citrus, green apple, and white flowers lead to a vibrant, rounded, and persistent palate. Perfect with oysters, shellfish, delicate risottos, and aged cheeses.

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.
