A crisp and streamlined 100% chardonnay, with delicate quince, white flower, and biscuity aromas.

A four hectare estate based in the northern half of the Cote de Blancs with vineyards throughout Avize, Oger, Cramant and Oiry. After the recent passing of Didier Varnier, his wife Valérie has taken up the reigns and continues to produce vinous, earthy Champagnes in the traditional family style. The vines average 45 years, which is old for the region and offer more concentrated deeper wines. In the cellar must is fermented without temperature control in stainless steel vats and bottled right after fermentation with lower liqueur de tirage for a more creamy softer mousse.

Professional Reviews

Robert Parker

RP 92+
"Disgorged in September 2019 with 10 grams per liter dosage, the new release of Varnier-Fannière's NV Brut Grand Cru opens in the glass with notes of citrus oil, green apple, white flowers and pastry cream that only hints at the complexity to come with more time on cork. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, pure and nicely defined, with a fleshy core of fruit, a delicate pinpoint mousse and an attractively mineral finish."

Wine Spectator

WS 90
"The smoky earthiness of chardonnay from Avize gives this wine the kind of Gauloises-like power usually associated with red grapes. The initial impact is broad and juicy; the lasting impression is light and effervescent. A bold Champagne that’s distinctive, yet approachable."
