All of the vineyards are planted with cover crops and plowed, and Champs enjoys an additional advantage in that his parcels are relatively large—only 12 different parcels over 11 hectares—meaning that he is more protected from contamination by chemical treatments in neighboring plots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVilmart \u0026amp; Cie. is not only one of the greatest grower-estates in Champagne, but one of the finest champagne producers of any type in the region.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-Peter Liem, Champagneguide.net\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the early days when I first approached Vilmart and started working with Laurent Champs, I had mixed emotions about some of the Champagnes. Please note what \"mixed emotions\" actually means. It doesn't mean I doubted the worthiness of the wines or thought they were mediocre. It means I had different opinions about different aspects of the wines. I was thrilled with some, intrigued with all, and wondered whether a couple were too oaky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEarlier in his career, I think Laurent was flying blind on the matter of oak, and his recent Champagnes have wisely—presented a more integrated and elegant profile. Yet he is adamantly a vintner first, before he is a maker of Champagne: \"We do wine first, then afterward we do Champagne,\" he says. Every base wine, without exception, sees at least ten months in casks of varying size and newness. Once in a while there's a brief disconnect between fruit and wood immediately after disgorgement, but 2-3 years on the cork make for a dramatic metamorphosis. Matter of fact, I've found Vilmart among the most food-friendly of all my Champagnes, because they're so gracious, so vinous, so lordly in their carriage. It's clear to me Vilmart is a Champagne estate of unassailable consequence, a must-have for anyone Interested in the possibilities of this most suavely powerful and graceful of all wines. Casks are hardly the point anymore.

The firm is distinguished for its extensive vineyard holdings of 752 acres, including prestigious Grand Cru vineyards in the Cote des Blancs and Montagne de Reims regions. Unlike most large houses, Champagne Taittinger relies primarily on estate grapes for its portfolio of Champagnes. Also unique are the higher proportion of Chardonnay in its wines that gives Taittinger its signature style, and the time devoted to aging the wines before release-most often greatly exceeding the legal requirement, in a practice that also has become a Taittinger hallmark.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Empire Merchants","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":13038152056876,"sku":"77168865484","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1044\/1362\/products\/bd6bd3429b73ed63f7d87d1a605e14d30525e0d0.jpg?v=1603533965"},{"product_id":"piper-heidsieck-cuvee-1785-brut-champagne","title":"Piper-Heidsieck Cuvee 1785 Brut Champagne","description":"\u003cp\u003eTastingNotesNotes of almond and fresh hazelnut accompany the precise ascent of its bubbles.

A traditionalist at heart, much of the Doyard philosophy reaches into the past for inspiration.

Since 2007, zero new wood is used (3-5 years old), there is no filtration, very low doses of SO2, and he has stopped using cold-stabilization - preferring instead to simply leave the wines in the coldest portion of his cellar to allow them to precipitate naturally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination of long lees aging, incredible terroir, organic viticulture, and fair prices, make it clear why Doyard has achieved cult status.

Vincent's parents were vignerons in the Aube. 20 years ago he made his first vintage, and in the 2000s, he began working the soil. As of 2008, Vincent has been certified in biodynamics, and is obsessed (to say the least) with farming living soils and making living wine. His cellar work is marked by long, slow élèvages for the base wines, fermentations with native yeast, as well as both low dosages and low sulfur additions. His wines see as little manipulation as any Champagnes we've come across. 10 of Vincent's 13ha are in Buxeuil, in the Aube. This terroir is marked by kimmeridgian limestone soil that is more akin to the terroir of Chablis than to the terroir of the Marne. In fact, Buxeuil is not more than an hour's drive from Chablis. Like the majority of vineyards in the Aube, Vincent's Buxeuil vines are Pinot Noir. Vincent's other 3ha are in Montgueux, the isolated chalk outcropping 5km from the city of Troyes, and are planted to Chardonnay. This diversity of terroirs and duality of grapes, combined with Vincent's obsession with responsibly incorporating oxygen into winemaking (\"wines are like people; if they don't have oxygen, they die\") results in wines that are broad and vinous in style, with with a rigid spine of mouthwatering acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTastingNotesFrom a classic Champagne vintage year, this wine is just hinting at maturity.
