The one wine in the Caze-Thibaut range that comes from outside the family's Marne Valley home turf: Cramant, a Grand Cru village in the Cote des Blancs whose deep belemnite chalk produces some of the most delicate, fine-boned Chardonnay in all of Champagne. Fabien Caze is the tenth generation of his family to grow grapes on the right bank of the Marne, but the estate as it exists now dates to 2013, when he carved 2.66 hectares out of the family holdings and started bottling on his own after training with Chartogne-Taillet. He treats the Cramant fruit exactly as he treats his own: cold native-yeast fermentation in used barrels, no fining, no filtration, long aging on fine lees, and a dosage decided by blind tasting rather than a house formula, which in this cuvee has meant essentially nothing at all. The 2021 growing season was brutal across Champagne, with spring frost and heavy mildew pressure cutting the crop to one of the smallest in decades, so any single-village bottling from the year reflects hard selection.

Champagne

Champagne boasts some of the world’s greatest luxury brands with Krug, Cristal and, of course, Dom Perignon. But it’s also home to hundreds of small dynamic producers—farmers who grow their own grapes (often organically) and make (often with natural methods) tiny amounts of pure and absolutely delicious wine that reflect the individual personalities of their villages and terroirs. Toast with these wines, for sure. But also treat them like the great wines they are: taste, drink, explore!
