You thought you knew Champagne. How cute. This one doesn’t sparkle for your amusement—it commands your attention, grabs your jaw, and makes you hold eye contact while it slowly tightens the ropes.
First comes the restraint—those fine, persistent bubbles tracing sharp lines down your spine. Then the sting—citrus peel and chalk-laced acidity snapping against your tongue. You squirm. It doesn’t care. That blend—Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier—is in total control, and it’s not here for soft hands or small talk.
You beg for more. It delivers. Structure like steel, a finish that doesn’t fade—it lingers, purposeful, a precise pressure that leaves you trembling in the best way. Pair it with oysters, aged Comté, or whatever you’ll be licking off the floor after.
Region: Montagne de Reims, Champagne, France Grapes: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier
