A Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs from one of our most sought-after small growers, made to show the Côte des Blancs from several angles at once. Prisme blends single-vineyard Chardonnay from the Grand Cru villages of Cramant, Chouilly and Oiry. Richard Fouquet's idea, and the reason for the name, is that you taste the wine through the "prism" of the terroir. The Fouquet family has farmed in Cramant since 1885. Richard, the fifth generation, and his wife Karine now run the estate, farming organically and doing the work by hand. In the cellar they stay out of the way: no malolactic fermentation, and Prisme gets at least 40 months on its lees. The bottles rest in cold cellars cut into the chalk bedrock under the winery. This release is built on the 2020 vintage, and with fewer than 2,500 cases from the whole estate in a typical year, there's never much to go around. It's grower Champagne for people who want chalk and tension, not sugar.

"The 2020 Blanc de Blancs Prisme, the first rendition of this cuvée to be derived from a single vintage without any reserve-wine component, is a lovely wine, revealing aromas of lemon oil, Anjou pear and lychee mingled with notes of oyster shell and fresh hazelnut. Medium- to full-bodied and concentrated, it is elegantly muscular and incisive, with bright acidity, a pinpoint mousse and ample reserves of chalky structuring extract that lend a compensatory impression of freshness, culminating in a long, saline finish. It was disgorged in November 2024 with a dosage of 1.5 grams per liter." —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 Fouquet (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, Fouquet employs a wide palette of flavors and textures through which he can capture a unique expression of his prime terroirs.

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!
