Cellar & Boutique — The selection

CELLAR

An authors' cellar

At 13OR, champagne is neither a product nor a label: it's an encounter. Independent winemakers and Houses, blended or single-plot cuvées, multi-vintage or vintage: a living selection of 200 cuvées, chosen glass by glass, at the foot of the Cathedral, revealing terroirs and gestures. Every bottle is brought back for what it says about the place, the grape and the hand that crafted it.

Cellar manifesto

The grapes

Seven grapes, one grammar

Seven grape varieties allowed in Champagne — three pillars and four rarities. Every cuvée reads as an assemblage, or a monocépage signature.

Chardonnay

Pillar · White grape

Tension, salinity, white flowers. Gives its backbone to Blancs de Blancs.

Pinot Noir

Pillar · Black grape

Structure, vinosity, depth. Heart of Blancs de Noirs and vinous rosés.

Meunier

Pillar · Black grape

Fruit, roundness, accessibility. The grape of Blancs de Meunier and generous assemblages.

Pinot Gris

Rare · Lush fruit

Also called fromenteau. Brings soft spices and notes of candied yellow fruit.

Pinot Blanc

Rare · Suppleness

Discreet cousin of Chardonnay. Brings suppleness, white flowers and a wide mouthfeel.

Arbane

Rare · Aube heritage

Historic grape of the Aube, nearly disappeared. Floral notes, finesse, candied citrus.

Petit Meslier

Rare · Nervous tension

Ancient, highly tart grape. Brings verticality and notes of fresh herbs.

Assemblage & dosage

All you need to know

Before release, two choices sign the cuvée: the assemblage — which grapes, which years — and the dosage — how much sugar.

Assemblage type

Assemblage type

From monocépage to rosé, the assemblage shapes the face of every cuvée.

  • Blanc de Noirs

    Monocépage · Pinot Noir

    100% Pinot Noir (or Meunier). Structure, vinosity, depth.

  • Blanc de Blancs

    Monocépage · Chardonnay

    100% Chardonnay. Light, salinity, white flowers.

  • Blanc de Meunier

    Monocépage · Meunier

    100% Meunier. Fleshy fruit, accessibility, roundness.

  • Brut sans année

    Multi-vintage assemblage

    Without a vintage, the champenois art par excellence — the house's constant signature.

  • Rosé d'assemblage

    Red + white wine

    A method unique to Champagne — a still red wine added at the moment of assemblage.

  • Rosé de saignée

    Short maceration

    Drawn off by macerating Pinot berries. Vinous, deep, gastronomic rosés.

Dosage

Dosage

From driest to sweetest, the shipping liqueur tunes the final perception of the champagne.

  • Brut Nature

    0 — 3 g/L

    No dosage. The cuvée laid bare, straight, no concession to sugar.

  • Extra Brut

    0 — 6 g/L

    Very dry, taut. Preferred by lovers of minerality.

  • Brut

    0 — 12 g/L

    The champenois standard — balanced, gastronomic.

  • Demi-Sec

    32 — 50 g/L

    Generous, made for pastries and fruity desserts.

  • Sec

    17 — 32 g/L

    Rounder, slightly sweet. Versatile with appetizers.
