This is no ordinary brut sans année. I tasted this with Damien at the maison this May, and three times this week, and I was impressed by the generous, creamy, white fruit character of the wine. This wine is entirely fermented in large oak barrels, and comes from vineyards tended to like a vanity garden. It is composed of 70% Chouilly Grand Cru and 30% Cramant Grand Cru, with 30% reserves from his solera-style foudre of older vintages. The back end not only has the chalk that one would expect but also a very nice chestnut flavor. This is top-class blanc de blancs, and no one that enjoys this style should miss it given the extraordinary price.

This is fresh bright fruit and slightly salted grower Champagne. It is always a crowd pleaser especially with devoted Champagne drinkers. Candied ginger, spiced apple and pear brioche, finishing dry, extensive and over delivering at this price point.

Glad I put some of this wine in my cellar! The fruit on this is very open knit with berry and fiji apple through the middle of the mouth. While the nose may be a little tight, that may be due to temperature - I find the nose on champagne starts to show really well at 50 degrees. For all grand cru fruit in these bottles, you can't find a better Champagne value. This is definitely a wine you can pick up a case at this price and quality, and feel great about opening a bottle of grand cru champagne any given day of the year!

This is a rather extraordinary grower-producer blanc de blancs that expertly straddles the line between creamy opulence and razor-sharp focus. It has rich citrus, white peach, and Granny Smith apple fruit, creamy brioche notes, and vibrant minerals. In short, this is what you would pay the big bucks for, but thanks to the direct import pricing, you don't need to. If you could use another great grower Champagne to add to your lineup (and we all could), don't miss this.

Notes

Damien Hugot is a 25th-generation grower, with 20 acres of estate vineyards, mostly in the Grand Crus of Cramant and Chouilly. The Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs is composed entirely of Chouilly and Cramant, and mostly from old massal selected vines. This wine, which is 100% Chardonnay, has incredible richness and great toastiness for a Blanc de Blancs. We are very proud to import these wines directly, and offer them at such good prices. If you are looking for a bottle of Champagne that has both toast and the classy chalk of the best vineyards for Chardonnay, look no further! (Gary Westby, K&L Champagne Buyer)
