Antoine Bouvet Champagne Blanc de Noirs Les Monts de la Vallee MV ['23 Base]

$8999
Use code 10OFF to get 10% off 12+ bottles

All Pinot Noir from Avenay-Val-d'Or, Mareuil-sur-Ay and Bisseuil, premier cru villages in the Vallee de la Marne that the great houses have quietly bought from for generations — Antoine Bouvet keeps his fruit and bottles it himself. He farms organically, still uncommon in Champagne, working small volumes off old family parcels rather than buying his way to scale. This is Blanc de Noirs in the classic Marne mold: broad-shouldered Champagne with the vinous weight red grapes give, finished dry and without makeup. Pour it in a white wine glass rather than a flute, at cellar temperature rather than ice cold, and it drinks like a white Burgundy that happens to have bubbles.

More about Antoine Bouvet

Antoine Bouvet’s grandfather, working some of the finest terroir in Champagne (mostly in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, home to Clos des Goisses) produced high quality grapes, but then sold them all to Bollinger.

Antoine took over the vines around ten years ago -- and those vines are now very old -- and he changed everything. He introduced organics and biodynamics. He kept the grapes for his own family domaine and started making wine — with traditional wood cask aging, just like at Bollinger, but with all the meticulous attention to detail that is impossible at a larger operation (Antoine’s is only five hectares and he does almost everything himself!)

Roast chicken, mushroom risotto, a wedge of aged Comte, or fried chicken. Charcuterie and pate en croute are naturals.

Red apple, white cherry and citrus zest over a bready, lees-driven core. Medium-bodied with fine bubbles, firm acidity and a dry, chalky finish.
