Marc Hebrart Premier Cru Blanc de Blancs

This Blanc de Blancs 1er Cru crafted by Marc Hébrart is an elegant and precise champagne perfect for aperitif.

Made from Chardonnay grown on the Grand Cru terroirs of Chouilly and Oiry and the premier cru terroir of Mareuil sur Aÿ, it is a complex and perfectly balanced champagne that has the particularity of being made from vines which average 38 years of age.

For a number of years now Marc Hébrart has applied reasoned viticultural practices to his vines, and makes his wines in small batches in order to preserve the personality of each parcel and each separate terroir.

The cuvée Blanc de Blancs is born of a blend of 10% Chardonnay from Oiry and Chouilly plus 90% from Mareuil-Sur-Aÿ. I wanted to make a champagne that was outstandingly mineral with great complexity. It’s a champagne that expresses the terroir in its immense aromatic harmony.

“Hébrart’s wines have a broad appeal: if you like to think about your wines, they’re intellectually engaging enough to satisfy you; on the other hand, if you’re just looking to drink, they’re simply delicious. The wines are full and generous without being weighty, complex and soil-driven without being demanding. Overall, the entire range is of consistently high quality, and represents excellent value for the money.” - Peter Liem

Marc Hébrart is a one of the shining lights in the village of Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, one of the most renowned villages in the Marne Valley. Home to Billecart-Salmon and the famous ‘Clos des Goisses’ vineyard, many believe Mareuil should be classified as Grand Cru. Hébrart produce Pinot Noir-dominated Champagnes. Chardonnay makes up a small amount of the house blend, but no Pinot Meunier is used. Hébrart formerly provided grapes to bigger houses such as Bollinger before choosing to bottle its production under its own name.
