Champagne has a bit of a secret. For centuries, the big houses have built their reputations on blending, mixing grapes from hundreds of villages to create a uniform taste. It’s clever, but sometimes you want a wine with a bit more personality.
We’re championing the 'Burgundian Revolution' of the region: Single Vineyard Champagne.
These are wines that speak of one specific patch of earth, a Lieu-Dit. They aren't designed to taste the same year after year; they’re designed to be a snapshot of a specific place and time. We’ve curated a case of these rare soloists for a truly memorable Christmas.
You’ll discover the M&G Heucq 'Le Clos des Goulots', a pure Pinot Meunier from a tiny plot tucked under a forest in Fleury-la-Rivière that offers a "cool and dry expression" you just can't replicate in a blend. Then there’s the monumental Larmandier-Bernier 'Vieille Vigne du Levant', a Grand Cru Cramant that is rich and smoky and utterly complete.
We’ve also included two distinct expressions from Nicolas Maillart: the 'Les Jolivettes' Grand Cru and the 'Montchenot' Premier Cru, both showcasing how different terroirs shape the Pinot Noir grape. Rounding off the collection is the Franck Bonville 'Les Belles Voyes', a layered and creamy Blanc de Blancs from the oldest vines in Oger.
If you want a fizz that sparks a conversation rather than just popping a cork, this is the case for you.
