A small scale Champagne house that is a stunner. Located just south of Epernay, it's a source of outstanding Champagne. All of their bottlings are made from 100% single varieties, this one is all Pinot Noir. The vineyards are mostly 25 to 30 years old, with some plots going back 50 years. It spends three years on the lees, which imparts a creamy complexity that shortcuts cannot mimic. Pale gold in color, plenty of sparkle, it's highly aromatic, creamy on the palate with an extended finish. Everything about this one is superb. It has plenty of weight to hold up through an entire meal. Great with shellfish, poultry or sushi. With a good stopper, it'll keep for days in the fridge. Total production under 1200 cases.
