Antoine Bouvet is one of Champagne’s young rising stars — and you can taste the energy in every bottle. Taking over the family vines from his grandfather Guy Bouvet, Antoine inherited not just incredible Premier Cru terroir in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, Bisseuil, and Avenay-Val-d’Or, but also a deep respect for the land. All the vines come from old massal selections, adding genetic diversity and complexity to his wines. Since stepping in, Antoine has gone all-in on organics, biodynamics, and minimal intervention — farming without weedkillers, letting the terroir sing, and giving each cuvée its own edge and personality.
The result? Sharp, vinous, mineral-driven Champagnes with just a playful touch of oxidation — wines that feel alive. Festival-goers can taste this for themselves in the “Bouvet-Poul” (V22) NV, a bottle that captures Antoine’s style perfectly: tense, fresh, layered, and seriously charismatic. This is the kind of grower Champagne that makes you sit up, take notice, and say: wow, the future of Champagne is right here.
