The cooperative was founded in 1946 by growers who wanted to preserve local farming and maintain control over their fruit in a period when much of Champagne’s production was consolidated under larger houses. Over the decades the group remained comparatively small, drawing fruit almost entirely from vineyards within and around the village.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1248\" data-start=\"758\"\u003eIn recent years, Chavost has gained attention for its shift toward organic practices and minimal-intervention methods. Growers now focus on soil vitality, careful parcel selection, and harvesting fruit at balanced ripeness rather than chasing volume. The estate’s commitment to transparency in farming and vinification has made it an important reference point for this lesser-known corner of Champagne, where many parcels sit on gentle mid-slopes with good drainage and consistent exposure\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1665\" data-start=\"1268\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoteaux Champenois Rouge\u003c\/strong\u003e is made from Pinot Noir harvested from cooperative growers’ parcels around Chavot, where well-drained slopes and a mix of chalk and clay support slower ripening and naturally moderate alcohol. Fruit is hand-picked, sorted, and fermented with native yeasts. Extraction is kept gentle to preserve the precision and fine structure typical of Pinot Noir from this zone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2111\" data-start=\"1667\"\u003eThe wine matures in tank and neutral vessels, allowing the character of the vineyard sites to stay at the forefront without the influence of new oak. This approach aligns with Chavost’s broader philosophy: farming first, minimal intervention in the cellar, and a focus on transparent expressions of the Coteaux Sud d’Épernay. Production is limited, as still red wines from Champagne remain a small but meaningful part of the cooperative’s work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Voyager","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44080325525527,"sku":null,"price":142.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/9076\/4311\/files\/Chavost_CoteauxChampenoisRouge_43b3e0a5-0af2-4507-81bc-0f22e46b392b.jpg?v=1765132090"}],"url":"https:\/\/hartandcru.com\/collections\/chavost.oembed","provider":"HART \u0026 CRU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
