A glorious rose Champagne from 100% Pinot Noir vines 60+ years-old all on Grand Cru sites in Ay harvested in 2020 and disgorged mid-2023. The dark salmon color and tiny bubbles make it beautiful in the glass. The aromas feature... Read More

For the past six years, this has been a terrific Brut Champagne at a crazy good price. It comes from a co-op founded in 1959 to help grape growers in Aube, the southern part of Champagne, get a little better deal from the big... Read More
This small cooperative winery in the heart of Champagne has struck gold with this cuvee- and yellow label gold at that. Because the Charles Clement Brut Tradition is the kind of wine that will thrill anyone who loves... Read More
Organic/Bio Christophe Mignon is really a Pinot Meunier specialist but here he crafts 100% Pinot Noir into something pretty spectacular. From organically farmed vines in the Valle de Marne and with nearly six years on the lees,... Read More
This is STAGGERING value in very high-end Champagne that is nicely mature in profile but still fresh, mouthwatering, and far too easy to drink. The Domaine is small - just 15 acres of vines - divided into 25 plots that are farmed,... Read More
Super luxury Champagne from this small, artisanal, producer. It's 100% Chardonnay from vintage 2014 done in steel plus 25% reserve from 2013 aged in oak. Aged under natural cork from bottling in 2015 until disgorgement in... Read More
A completely delicious "drinker's Champagne" with lots of time on the lees to develop toastiness and creaminess of texture. We love how the brioche notes linger here.
From Ay, better known for Pinot Noir but giving this Chardonnay real character and distinction. The 90 point Wine Advocate write-up from last release applies here as well: Medium-bodied, ample and pillowy, with a charming core... Read More
Organic/Bio A true luxury grower Champagne from a tiny estate of just 3.5HA that (rarely for Champagne) is certified organic and biodynamic. This is a 50/50 blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from 1er Cru sites in Ludes and Rilly-La-Montagne... Read More
Brut Zero Champagne is always intense, but it doesn’t have to be harsh or austere. Here Chardonnay from Grand Cru Cramant vines has the amplitude (along with 3 years on the lees) to buffer brisk acids without added sugar.... Read More
Dom Perignon - yes, he was a real winemaking monk! - pioneered the making of white Champagne from black Pinot Noir grapes in the 1600s. The techniques were refined by the large houses in Champagne's northern regions, but somehow... Read More
Think of this as French Pinot Noir with bubbles and you’ll be on the right track. In contrast to Vesselle’s ever-popular Oeil de Perdrix (the lightest rosé Champagne we know of), this is the darkest and most... Read More

Delpine Laborde’s first (just 250 case) release of NV Champagne from the hill of Nogent near Riems is…well, really, really, good. It’s Pinot Noir (75%) and Chardonnay, just over half 2020 with 45% 2019 and 2018... Read More
From the old Mum winery in Cramant, Gilles and son Julien Lancelot make delicious, stylish and dangerously drinkable Champagnes mainly, like this, from Chardonnay. From vines averaging 45 years age, it's mainly 2018 with 20... Read More
This is all Pinot Meunier from very old vines growing on clay-limestone soils, mainly vintage 2017 plus reserves and finished Brut Nature (no sugar added). It smells a touch smoky and toasty with notes of red and white cherry... Read More
For all of the bulk that many 2018 Champagnes show, Hebrart's 100% Pinot Noir Blanc de Noirs remains as stylish, pure, and elegant as ever. As Wine Advocate (94 points) wrote of the last release, wafts from the glass with... Read More
Perrine Fresne’s very first Champagne is a wine shaped like a teardrop, entering your mouth broad and generous and then rapidly contracting to an almost painfully intense finish that stays on your palate for a long, long,... Read More
Organic/Bio If it didn’t sound bad we’d call Remi Georgeton a “farmer Champagne maker” because “grower” just doesn’t begin to cover it. Since taking over from his parents in 2006, he’s... Read More
