Based across two sites in Fontette and Essoyes, which is coincidentally also the home of the famous impressionist Auguste Renoir. They produce an excellent range of champagne at their state-of-the-art facility, from their award-winning Brut right through to their Prestige Cuvée – Cuvée Charles, in honour of their founder Charles Collin who was the man behind the grower vision back in the early 50’s.Over 90% of the vineyards are planted with Pinot noir, the remainder being planted with chardonnay. This is reflected in the range with the wines showing purity, expression and finesse.

This medium-sized, family owned treasure of the Champagne region is the epitome of quality and consistency. With deep cool cellars, this maison leaves their cuvées ageing for far longer than most of their counterparts allowing the development of very fine and tiny bubbles. This creates a silky texture on the palate with subtle toasty notes that are the hallmark of excellent champagne. If ever in doubt, buy Pol Roger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood suggestion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's never easy choosing foods when it comes to such wines as you never want to over power the wine. Instead of our research team looking at a direct suggestion like oysters or caviar (which would work a treat) they looked into what Winston Churchill was a fan of eating. It turns out, he was impartial to turtle soup (yes this was a thing back in London) and a cheese platter, particularly Swiss Gruyere. There you have it, an unusual but traditional pairing.\u003c\/p\u003e"}

Its vineyard is planted predominantly in Chardonnay, which represents 88% of the total. The Pinot Noir accounts for 11% and the Meunier just 1% of the vines.

The memory of Madame Le Brun, who owned the castle in 1845, is still alive today. The house Le Brun de Neuville inherits its name thanks to the action of the noble heiress of the Château de Bethon, Madame de Reviers, one of the founders of the House. The vineyard Le Brun de Neuville is spread over 150 hectares, of which the majority has been planted for over 30 years on the undulating slopes of the Sézannais. Its vineyard is planted predominantly in Chardonnay, which represents 88% of the total. The Pinot Noir accounts for 11% and the Meunier just 1% of the vines.

While Pinot Meunier often struggles to be taken seriously in Champagne, at Moussé, Pinot Meunier is celebrated. 80% of the vines planted are Meunier, with the balance planted to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. This agency is the first member of Club Trésors de Champagne to make a Spécial Club wine of 100% Pinot Meunier and the first Club member to produce a Rosé de Saignée Spécial Club. In the vineyards, Cedric Moussé adheres to a ‘lutte raisonée’ approach. He practices organic viticulture, using herbal infusions that act as ‘vitamins’ for the vines, cover crops, zero pesticides, and minimal doses of heavy metals like copper. His new winery, completed in 2012 may be deceiving; the modern facility leads us to believe this is a new operation. Solar panels power the cellar, tasting room, and 2 houses on the property, while geothermal energy moderates temperature throughout the winery. An underground spring provides enough water for irrigation on the farm. Moussé works almost exclusively in stainless steel, with the exception of a small amount of Pinot Meunier destined for his rosé. All cuvées undergo malolactic fermentation.

Radiating through its pretty, pale-straw hue, this is a fresh and lively expression of the delightful, deep red and black cherry fruits of pinot noir from the south-facing slopes of the Montagne de Reims. It captures the essence of Philipponnat in contrasting rich, ripe fruit with tension and poise. Ripe malic acidity is delightfully fine, tangy and impeccably integrated, underlined by finely structured chalk minerality.

Run by the Chiquet family since purchasing the property in 1978, brothers Jean-Herve and Laurent are at the helm and creating a different form of magic in their region of Dizy. Have you ever considered yourself a bit of a 'rebel' or a non-conformist at heart? Are you a perfectionist with ridiculous attention to detail?

To the brothers Chiquet, they couldn’t quite accept a dumbing down of the wine to suit a style so instead, they decided to work with the best of that given year and change from making their ‘NV’ given the code ‘Cuvée No. 740 (base year: 2012)’ instead. The result is a wine that changes every year and reflects the best of their combined efforts and the offerings of Mother Nature. Cuvée No. 740 accounts for 90% of their production, which sits at 280,000 bottles. Although not organic, they are very hands-on in the vineyard and more non-interventionist in the winery which means, lower sulphur, low sugar addition (extra brut) across the range and no filtration which upholds both body and aromatics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood suggestion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e For this we suggest a a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/gourmetlife.com.au\/collections\/caviar\/products\/darya-caviar-imperial-beluga?variant=31482366820440\" title=\"Darya Imperial Beluga Caviar Josh Rea - Gourmet life\"\u003eDarya Imperial Beluga Caviar\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2021-07-30T12:02:01+10:00","created_at":"2021-07-29T16:46:51+10:00","vendor":"Jacquesson","type":"Vintage","tags":["Blanc de blancs","Extra Brut","Grower","Magnum","New Arrival","Oak","Rare Collection","Rare Collections","Region: Avize","Size: 1.5L","Size: Magnum","spo-default","spo-disabled","Taste: Chalk","Taste: Chalky","Taste: Chardonnay Dominant","Taste: Citrus","Taste: Creamy","Taste: Mineral","Taste: Oak Spice","Taste: Spice","Taste: Texture","Taste: Zesty","Vintage","Year: 2008"],"price":95000,"price_min":95000,"price_max":95000,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":39472463708269,"title":"Single","option1":"Single","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"JACQ-AVIZE-MAG-08","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":28281953189997,"product_id":6612616052845,"position":2,"created_at":"2021-07-29T16:49:46+10:00","updated_at":"2021-07-30T11:56:26+10:00","alt":"Jacquesson-Extra-Brut-Avize-Champ-Cain-08-Magnum-Box-Emperor-Champagne","width":540,"height":1080,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Jacquesson-Extra-Brut-Avize-Champ-Cain-08-Magnum-Box-Emperor-Champagne.jpg?v=1627610186","variant_ids":[39472463708269]},"available":true,"name":"Jacquesson Avize Champ Cain 2008 Magnum (1.5L) - Single","public_title":"Single","options":["Single"],"price":95000,"weight":1500,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":6,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":null,"featured_media":{"alt":"Jacquesson-Extra-Brut-Avize-Champ-Cain-08-Magnum-Box-Emperor-Champagne","id":20552020426861,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.5,"height":1080,"width":540,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Jacquesson-Extra-Brut-Avize-Champ-Cain-08-Magnum-Box-Emperor-Champagne.jpg?v=1627610186"}},"requires_selling_plan":false,"se
