David Pehu is an exceptional grower-producer based in Verzenay, crafting structured and deeply mineral Champagnes. *Face Nord* is a Grand Cru blend dominated by Pinot Noir, sourced from north-facing vineyards that provide extra freshness and balance. Aged on the lees for several years, this cuvée showcases both power and elegance.

The wine bursts with aromas of black cherry, wild strawberries, and crushed rose petals, layered with hints of spice and chalk. The palate is rich and textured, revealing flavors of red apple, citrus zest, and a strong mineral backbone, leading to a long, balanced finish.

Perfect for pairing with roasted duck, aged cheeses, or seared tuna, *Face Nord* is a deeply expressive Champagne that highlights the best of Verzenay's terroir.

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.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 92
"The NV Brut Face Nord is a gorgeous, expressive wine. For the Face Nord David Pehu blends 70% Pinot and 30% Chardonnay from Verzey and Verzy, both of which yield nervy, racy wines. The inclusion of 30% perpetual reserve back to 2005 helps fill out the layers while adding notable complexity. Cherry, Mirabelle plum, spice and exotic white flowers give the Face Nord striking aromatic complexity and a touch of exoticism that are so alluring." -Vinous

"Disgorged in March 2018, the NV Brut Grand Cru Face Nord is showing very well indeed, wafting from the glass with a complex bouquet of Meyer lemon, iodine, crisp orchard fruit and smoky reduction. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, ample and racy, with a crisp core of fruit, tangy acids and a delicate, pinpoint mousse, concluding with a bright, precise finish." -Robert Parker
