The only wine in the range that blends all three Champagne grapes, and the one to reach for if you want to taste what Caze-Thibaut's corner of the Marne actually adds up to. Les Leriens comes from east-facing vines in Chatillon-sur-Marne on clay-limestone over chalk, roughly 45% Chardonnay, 45% Pinot Meunier and 10% Pinot Noir, so the Meunier gives it flesh and orchard fruit while the Chardonnay keeps the frame tight. 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. The blend ferments spontaneously and ages in used barrels, then spends years on fine lees before being bottled unfined and unfiltered with dosage under 3 g/L. 2021 was one of Champagne's smallest and most demanding harvests, hit by April frost and relentless mildew.

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!
