Description

 


Important - this wine is for PICK UP only in NYC. It will not be shipped. 


 


One 1.5 Liter bottle of Chartogne - Taillet Grower Champagne from France.


 Managed by Alexandre Chartogne, one of the young Grower in Champagne, who has converted to bio-dynamic agricultural practices. Made from 60% Chardonnay and 40 % Pinot Noir, this is an outstanding Champagne.


 Definitely on the drier side, this Champagne has very round qualities, probably due to the high proportion of Pinot Noir. Shows green apple notes on the mid-palate from the Chardonnay. It retains nice crispness on the palate with some chalky hints on the finish. A Champagne that begs to be poured again and again.


 


The total production of Chartogne-Taillet is a miniscule 7,500 cases. It's a small production, artisinal and delicious.
