Since returning to the family's holdings and after a handful of compelling vintages, Fabien has also become part of the select, emerging grower society \"Terre et Vins de Champagne\".  As he grows as a winemaker, Fabien's focus is on crafting distinctive wines that promote the terroir of his single plots located in Châtillon, Vandières and Reuil, all on the northern bank of the Marne river.

These are not “pop and pour” Champagnes, but rather wines that require the drinker to pay attention and to let the wines reveal themselves with time and aeration in the glass.Champagne Clandestin is a new joint project between Bertrand Gautherot of Vouette \u0026amp; Sorbée and his right hand man, the young, energetic, Burgundian-trained Benoit Doussot. Needless to say, both Bertrand and Benoit have a lot of experience with the terroirs around their village, so much so that their neighbors in Buxières-sur-Acre have been turning to them for assistance in setting their vineyards to rights after years of neglect.Clandestin means hidden or secret and it refers to the source of this Champagne: the long-overlooked, west-facing parcels of Pinot Noir on Kimmeridgian soils as well as Chardonnay on Portlandian soils above Buxières. Southerly, easterly and southeastern-facing parcels have long been favored in the Aube because they are bathed in more sunlight for a longer portion of the day while their western counterparts were seldom prized or utilized fully. Clandestin is made entirely from these cooler, west-facing vineyards – Pinot Noir on Kimmeridgian while the Chardonnay comes from a single, south-facing vineyard site planted on Portlandian clay. All of these sites are farmed organically and certified by ECOCERT and are vinified according to the exacting standards for which Vouette \u0026amp; Sorbée has been rightly praised.

His 6.3 hectares of vines were planted by his great-grandparents and are spread among thirty parcels between the villages of Le Breuil and Festigny in the Vallee de la Marne. This area south of the Marne River and along the Flagot tributary is known for its high percentage of Pinot Meunier, which is particularly well suited to the deep clay and chalky Tuffeaux soils dominating the terrain. Mignon’s unique approach to viticulture is something we like to refer to as The Mignon Method, which combines natural practices including biodynamics, phytotherapy, homeopathy and geobiology.

These are not “pop and pour” Champagnes, but rather wines that require the drinker to pay attention and to let the wines reveal themselves with time and aeration in the glass.Champagne Clandestin is a new joint project between Bertrand Gautherot of Vouette \u0026amp; Sorbée and his right hand man, the young, energetic, Burgundian-trained Benoit Doussot. Needless to say, both Bertrand and Benoit have a lot of experience with the terroirs around their village, so much so that their neighbors in Buxières-sur-Acre have been turning to them for assistance in setting their vineyards to rights after years of neglect.Clandestin means hidden or secret and it refers to the source of this Champagne: the long-overlooked, west-facing parcels of Pinot Noir on Kimmeridgian soils as well as Chardonnay on Portlandian soils above Buxières. Southerly, easterly and southeastern-facing parcels have long been favored in the Aube because they are bathed in more sunlight for a longer portion of the day while their western counterparts were seldom prized or utilized fully. Clandestin is made entirely from these cooler, west-facing vineyards – Pinot Noir on Kimmeridgian while the Chardonnay comes from a single, south-facing vineyard site planted on Portlandian clay. All of these sites are farmed organically and certified by ECOCERT and are vinified according to the exacting standards for which Vouette \u0026amp; Sorbée has been rightly praised.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beaune Imports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43278299758643,"sku":"WIN-466","price":104.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/8280\/3763\/files\/f0abbd5e-e3be-48e7-8203-70e13adbf339_e23f02ca_c42b68fb1140614a56daf1a4f6e6e2d075b13adf_WIN-466.png?v=1770066304"},{"product_id":"delamotte-brut-champagne","title":"Delamotte Brut Champagne","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;\" data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eLight and focused nose of light cream some citrus and butterscotch.

Owner and winemaker Francis Egly farms old vine Pinot Noir and Chardonnay – 45 years old on average – from some of the most prized and revered vineyards in all of Champagne. Because of the quality of the estate fruit and Francis’s commitment to incredibly low yields, dosage is kept very low (normally between 1-3 grams), adding to the intensity and character of the wines. Egly is a staunch believer that truly great Champagne must have extended lees aging, with some wines aged up to 9 years before disgorgement!

Unlike a lot of other houses, Giraud is committed to remaining rather small. They own 24 acres of vines and purchase an additional 37 acres worth of fruit, with a cap of 21,000 cases per year. (Compare that to Dom Perignon’s 410,000 cases!) They are transitioning to 0% stainless in the cellar and rather focus on oak vinification with the addition of some clay amphora. All of the oak barrels come from the Argonne forest and echo the way Champagne was made before 1950, including a continuing commitment to eliminate the use of pesticides and herbicides in both their vineyards as well as the vineyards where they source fruit in Aÿ.

The palate has a touch of spice and light raspberry and strawberry with good presence and moderate acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eABOUT THE PRODUCER: For nearly 300 years, the Vesselle family has been tilling the chalky soils of Bouzy and cultivating some of the village’s best-placed Pinot Noir vines. The family’s collection of grand cru vineyards and generations of leadership in championing Pinot Noir is what makes wines from Domaine Jean Vesselle such eloquent examples of Blanc de Noirs Champagnes. Wines here combine a classic Champagne elegance with the signature Bouzy power, especially in wines such as ‘Oeil de Perdrix.’\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eCRITICAL ACCLAIM\u003c\/u\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"In modern Champagne, any color that might bleed from the skins into the juice is usually filtered out, so the wine is clear. In this traditional style, Delphine Vesselle allows the ripe Pinot Noir grapes from her vineyards in Bouzy to bleed color from their skins, and doesn’t filter it out, hoping to preserve what she describes as the soul of Pinot Noir. Everyone on our panel was struck by this wine’s beauty, as its delicate touch seemed to connect with every scent and taste receptor at once. Auction-consultant Craig Ganzer commented on that complexity: “I just kept taking notes,” he said. The pink color and the range of green herbs in the scent seem to resonate through the wine, taking its radish-like tension and formal structure in an understated direction.\" - 95 PTS, WINE \u0026amp; SPIRITS (12\/2019)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“The NV Brut Oeil de Perdrix is floral, resonant and super-expressive, the Oeil de Perdrix has so much to offer. The interplay of aromatic top notes and Bouzy richness makes for a compelling, open-knit Champagne that is an absolutely joy to taste. This is such a gorgeous and totally distinctive Champagne. I would prefer to give it at least a few more months in bottle, as it is a bit tight today, especially on the finish.” - 93 PTS, ANTONIO GALLONI, VINOUS MEDIA (12\/2019)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"North Berkeley Imports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43278337278003,"sku":"WIN-754","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/8280\/3763\/files\/f0abbd5e-e3be-48e7-8203-70e13adbf339_e36b7335_c42b68fb1140614a56daf1a4f6e6e2d075b13adf_WIN-754.png?v=1749241276"}],"url":"https:\/\/londonmarketsf.com\/collections\/champagne-sparkling-wine.oembed?page=5","provider":"London Market SF","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
