Richard Fouquet, fifth-generation custodian of this 1885 family house in Cramant, crafts Tethys from Chardonnay vines rooted in Campanian chalk formed 70 million years ago. The wine is a pure blanc de blancs with a restrained1.5 g/L dosage and spends 24 months sur lattes to develop complexity. Bright, mineral-driven, with lemon zest and white flower aromatics that give way to citrus, pear, and a saline, sapid finish. The terroir speaks through distinct chalky minerality, making this an elegant aperitif or seafood partner.

"The NV (2022) Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Téthys Grand Cru is wiry and tightly wound. Brisk, piercing acids are something of a surprise, but that works so well here. Dried pear, white flowers, chalk, mint and dried lemon peel sizzle across the palate. This taut, vibrant Champagne has a lot to offer. I especially admire how it fleshes out with a bit of time in the glass. The Tethys is a blend of four sites in the Côte des Blancs, vinified and aged in tank, with full malolactic fermentation. Dosage is 1.5 grams per liter. Disgorged: January 2025; multiple disgorgements throughout the year." —Antonio Galloni

More about Guiborat

Richard Fouquet took over his family's estate in Cramant in 1996, at 21, and today makes the wines with his wife Karine. Of about eight hectares, they bottle only from the best three or so, Grand Cru Chardonnay in Cramant, Chouilly and Oiry, and sell much of the rest. Organic farming, mostly steel, usually no malolactic, long aging on the lees. Prisme and De Caurés à Mont Aigu are taut, chalky Blanc de Blancs; Prohibition is old-vine Meunier. Small production, gone fast.

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!
