Prohibition is Guiborat's statement wine: 100% Pinot Meunier from vines planted between 1964 and 1968, aged sur latte for a minimum of 32 months before disgorgement. With a base from the 2021 vintage, the wine channels old-vine power and complexity, fermented with 20% oak aging to deepen its profile. Pale and energetic on the palate with notes of raspberries, underripe strawberries, and croissants, finishing with white flower and herbal precision. Unfiltered and non-dosed Extra Brut—purity and nerve.

"The latest NV Extra-Brut Prohibition, sourced from two old-vine lieux-dits in Mardeuil planted to Pinot Meunier between 1954 and 1960, is based on the 2020 vintage and complemented with 12% reserve wines from 2019. It was disgorged in November 2023 without dosage. The only wine in the range that is partly vinified in oak, it offers aromas of red berries, walnut, fresh bread and spices. Charming and fruit-forward, ample and precise, it is laden with bright acidity and concludes with a delicately saline finish." —Kristaps Karklins

More about Guiborat

Champagne Guiborat is one of our most sought-after small growers — folks just can’t get enough of these racy, crystalline expressions of Côte des Blancs Chardonnay.

The Guiborat family traces their roots in the Côte des Blancs back to 1885, but it was only in 1996, when then 21-year-old Richard Fuoquet (the Guiborat name and the vines come from his mother’s family) packed up his life in Paris to join his Grandmother at the family domaine. He selected 3 hectares of their best terroirs, converted to organic viticulture, and Champagne Guiborat was born.

Richard's decision to convert the farming and stop selling to the Grand Marques was radical back then. But he's simultaneously also preserved time-honored Champagne traditions, such as a focus on blending of sites and terroirs, a technique that's seen less often as single-vineyard bottlings continue to trend. Through blending, Foquet employs a wide palette of flavors and textures through which he can capture a unique expression of his prime terroirs.
