Ratafia Ghislain Payer

For a long time, it was mainly intended for local consumption: for passing tourists, grape harvesters and the winemaker himself.
Ratafia de Champagne is a true gem, difficult to find due to its rarity.
The nose reveals candied fruits with spicy and toasted notes. On the palate, aromas of red fruits, Morello cherries and lychees.
Ideal with dessert, but also as an aperitif with a goat’s cheese macaron and fig jam.
The house + : how is Ratafia made?
It is a blend of grape must and Fine de la Marne.
Les Chenaux is the name of the vineyard parcel used for our Ratafia. The vines there are more than 50 years old. The yield is lower, but the grapes are more concentrated in flavour. The finest bunches are selected to produce a high-quality juice – the must.
As for the Fine, it is produced in the village stills, where we distil the wine to obtain alcohol – an artisanal process carried out in keeping with ancestral traditions.
The Ratafia is then aged in oak barrels.
