Francis makes up a handful of highly talented and terroir-driven producers along with the likes of Anselme Selosse, Larmandier-Bernier and Vouette et Sorbée. These are wines first and he produces deep, powerful and intense styles of champagne. His minimum ageing is around 48-60 months (as declared on his informative back label) for his non-vintage wines, allowing time to express the inner strength and purity. If you’ve never heard of Egly-Ouriet before, you are in for a treat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Few producers can equal Francis Egly in skill and experience, and larger houses cannot hope to emulate the cultivation norms…” Michel Bettane, The World's Greatest Wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e"}

Here, four generations of the Heucq family have adopted an increasingly attentive and sustainable approach in their family vineyards and winery. The path to conversion to biodynamic viticulture fulfils an aim to reactivate microbial life in the soil to enhance terroir expression, and coincides with the construction of a new ecological cuverie with natural ventilation, collection of rainwater and self-sufficiency in solar electricity. Unusual in Champagne, the same facility also serves to house all the pickers, who are trained to be particularly discerning in what they harvest. Meunier is naturally the focus in this part of the world, though chardonnay and pinot play a significant role in most cuvées, too. Vinification is refreshingly intuitive, with each parcel fermented and aged separately in stainless steel tanks or used oak barrels from Meursault to suit, and malolactic fermentation encouraged or blocked selectively. Cuvées are aged long and dosages are low. Informative back labels declare crus, cépage and time on lees. For such a small estate, its huge portfolio of no fewer than 20 cuvées must be one of the most diverse in Champagne, with many labels comprising fewer than 1000 bottles. The finest cuvées of André Heucq epitomise just what can be achieved in lesser terroirs with sufficient determination and focus.

Here, four generations of the Heucq family have adopted an increasingly attentive and sustainable approach in their family vineyards and winery. The path to conversion to biodynamic viticulture fulfils an aim to reactivate microbial life in the soil to enhance terroir expression, and coincides with the construction of a new ecological cuverie with natural ventilation, collection of rainwater and self-sufficiency in solar electricity. Unusual in Champagne, the same facility also serves to house all the pickers, who are trained to be particularly discerning in what they harvest. Meunier is naturally the focus in this part of the world, though chardonnay and pinot play a significant role in most cuvées, too. Vinification is refreshingly intuitive, with each parcel fermented and aged separately in stainless steel tanks or used oak barrels from Meursault to suit, and malolactic fermentation encouraged or blocked selectively. Cuvées are aged long and dosages are low. Informative back labels declare crus, cépage and time on lees. For such a small estate, its huge portfolio of no fewer than 20 cuvées must be one of the most diverse in Champagne, with many labels comprising fewer than 1000 bottles. The finest cuvées of André Heucq epitomise just what can be achieved in lesser terroirs with sufficient determination and focus. Tyson Stelzer\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n"}

What do 'Old-vines' bring to the table? Well, for the uninitiated, the yield for one is a lot less than a younger vineyard but the fruit is more intense, more characterful as the vines roots are deep in the soil. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJerome strikes again with another terroir-focussed champagne and made entirely from the warm and generous 2009 harvest.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Made entirely in Oak and from 100% meunier, this is in the richer spectrum of flavour with butter, toast, nutty complexity and earthy tones.

The Dehours’ Estate makes wines from the family vineyards, following methods of production that respect biodiversity and maximise\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e terroir expression. An example would be, working the soil and allowing grass to grow between the vines. The wines are aged on lees and clarified by natural settling without filtration or fining. Producer Jerome Dehours is a member of the 'Les Artisans du Champagne', which brings together high quality, mostly single estate champagne producers for an annual tasting. Dehours is one of Champagne’s most exciting estates making stylish and expertly crafted wines with a careful approach and excellent quality. We believe there is real creativity and attention to detail in his winemaking for him to develop the complexity from the blending of solera methods with the combined drive to show what Pinot Meunier and single vineyards in the Marne Valley can produce. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood suggestion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeing so bold, powerful and richly texture, this would be at home with some Duck confit or in winter, some Cassoulet with beans and sausages.\u003c\/p\u003e"}
