Pehu Simonet Champagne BdB Extra Brut Fins Lieux #6 Les Basses Correttes Verzenay 2016

$9999

Here's the curveball: Blanc de Blancs from Verzenay, a Grand Cru village so synonymous with Pinot Noir that finding Chardonnay here at all is unusual, let alone a single-parcel bottling. Pehu-Simonet is a top grower in the village, and the Fins Lieux series is their lieu-dit-by-lieu-dit deep dive — #6 comes from Les Basses Correttes, a small parcel that gives this wine its singular character. Extra Brut dosage keeps it bone-dry, letting Verzenay's chalk and the 2016 vintage's tension carry the wine. Serious Champagne for collectors and curious drinkers alike.

"The 2016 Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Verzenay Fins Lieux #6 Is stellar. Chardonnay bristles with tension and energy in the finely sculpted, vibrant Blanc de Blancs from David Pehu. Lemon oil, chalk, mint, white pepper and slate all race across the palate. This is such a gorgeous and distinctive Champagne—a real archetype of Verzenay. Dosage is 1.5 grams per liter." —Antonio Galloni

More about Pehu Simonet

Pehu-Simonet is a Grand Cru specialist, only bottling from his top sites and sells the rest off. The north facing Verzenay Grand Cru has chalk minerals that stand the village apart, but he also has tiny holdings in Bouzy and Mesnil. Applying techniques he learned in Burgundy back in the 1980s, he makes rich, Pinot Noir based Champagnes that -- like all the best Grower Champagnes -- don't taste like any other.
