Nakada Park
Nakada Park Champagne is part of the estates of Domaine Koji et Jae Hwa. It was born from a long-cultivated dream, matured over twenty-five years ago when Koji, during an internship that would profoundly mark his path, imagined for the first time producing Champagne. That desire took concrete shape only in 2020, when together with Jae Hwa he acquired the first parcels in the Côte des Bar, in the Aube, specifically in Courteron and Gyé-sur-Seine, to which the Hermitage vineyard in Neuville-sur-Seine was added in 2022. The story of the winery is one of a patient and thoughtful project, born from the meeting of personal vision and a still authentic territory of southern Champagne. Today the Domaine owns just over one hectare of vines, fragmented into distinct parcels, each interpreted as an autonomous expressive unit.
official certification obtained from the 2023 harvest. The work in the vineyard is meticulous and focused on controlling ripeness and yields, while vinification always occurs on a parcel basis. The production method reflects a Burgundian spirit applied to Champagne, with fermentations and aging exclusively in oak barrels from Burgundy. The measured use of wood, from used barrels of multiple passes, accompanies the wines without overshadowing their identity, leaving space for the precision of the fruit and the soil.
The wines of Domaine Koji et Jae Hwa stand out for a sober, deep, and coherent profile, far from immediate or banal interpretations. The Pinot Noir, grown on clay-limestone soils of the Kimmeridgian, gives rise to Champagne of great tension and expressive clarity, supported by prolonged aging on the lees and extremely low dosages. The result is a style that favors harmony, structure, and reading of the terroir over power or opulence. These are wines that speak with a calm and precise voice, capable of telling the story of the Côte des Bar through an artisanal, cultured, and
