For hundreds of years, the peacock has been honored for its beauty and symbolism. His life of majesty, luck, strength, and charisma is reflected in various mythological stories and tales, which have inspired numerous symbols of divinity and royalty, trust, and immortality. They are held in high esteem in most parts of the world and in different cultures because of their unique and beautiful plumage. The peacock feather is often named "the evil eye", nevertheless, despite having such an intimidating name, it is associated with protection from evil intentions and energies.
Frédéric Levant champagne range took inspiration from the elegance and extravagance of these birds. If you are someone with an innate desire to lead an extraordinary life and can settle for nothing less, these wines will be simply the perfect love match. People who have the peacock as their spirit animal are the ones that will fight to achieve their dreams, who don’t shy away from hard work, and who believe in earning what they deserve.
In the same way, our Champagnes are created without compromises with the goal of achieving the very best quality. They are produced with the finest grapes harvested in the villages of Pouillon and Tringny and crafted by the hands of a talented vigneron. All our wines are spontaneously fermented allowing them to express the real terroir character.

WINEMAKING
AN UNCOMPROMISING ART
Our Champagnes are produced in the area of Chenay, an extremely diverse territory where we can find different plots composed of yellow sand Thanetian soil with shells and fossils. It is among all, probably the most complex terroir but certainly the one that above all gives birth to the most intense and refined wines. Between microfossils, pockets of limestone and clay agglomerates, the grapes develop a great purity and incomparable freshness.

HAND HARVEST SELECTION
In our vineyards, the fruits are harvested exclusively by hand, plot after plot, bunch after bunch. We make two selections in order to keep only highest quality berries.
2
FERMENTATION
The fermentations are carried out spontaneously with indigenous yeasts both in stainless steel tanks or wooden barrels of 228 and 500 liters, depending on the vintage.
3
SECOND FERMENTATION
After the clarification of the wine, sugar syrup and yeasts are added to the wine base giving birth to a second fermentation that produces fine bubbles - the so called 'perlage' .
4
AGING
The bottles are placed on racks and rest from one to three years (or more), allowing the wine to develop aromatic richness, texture and depth.
