standout new champagne producer

about although the latest release is only the third, this is a family producer going back several generations with winemaking revived in the last decade. The family owns 6.5ha in the villages of Saulchery et Charly in Vallée de la Marne, all Meunier and Chardonnay. There’s a clear commitment to sustainable farming and retaining family values. The winery’s name comes from the family’s grandparents who originally started it all.

“3eme Edition” Brut NV ($68)

91% Chardonnay, 9% Meunier. Three years on the lees. 7g/l dosage—although the high acid easily disguises the small amount of sugar. A summery, bright wine given substance from the lees ageing with fresh, crisp green apple aromas.
