Vincent Charlot farms about 11 acres in Mareuil, just west of Epernay. This gorgeous cuvée comes from about a half-acre of vines planted in 1955. There is a razor’s edge here; the wine does not go through malolactic. There is more hazelnut than brioche and a lot of personality. There is about four years of aging on the lees with four grams of dosage. The wine reads very dry. Here is a refreshing and compelling side of Champagne. (Love, Classic)
