Winemaker Notes
This brut cuvée comes from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oger, made solely with grand cru Chardonnay. The blend is usually of 2-3 vintages. The wine goes through 100% malolactic fermentation, then rests en tirage for 36 months. Finesse plays a lead role here, finished with a light dosage of 8 grams per liter. It possesses an elegance and vivacity that will allow for myriad pairings but is particularly appreciated as an apéritif.
Ratings & Reviews
93 Points - Wine Enthusiast:
"This Champagne is made exclusively from the Charlemagne holdings in grand cru vineyards of the Côte des Blancs. With the classic steely edge that is balanced by a softer dosage, the wine is both fruity and structured. The bottling is ready although it is sure to develop some delicious mature flavors." - Roger Voss (Dec 2019)
91 Points - Vinous Media:
"Light yellow. Vibrant lemon, orange zest, jasmine and mineral scents are complemented by deeper notes of anise and buttered toast. Spreads out nicely on the palate, offering lively citrus and orchard fruit flavors and a touch of bitter quinine. Closes smooth and long, with echoing minerality and a touch of bitter pear skin. There's very good depth here, as well as verve." - Josh Raynolds (Dec 2013)
