Extended aging on lees transforms this single-vineyard Blanc de Blancs into something profound. Richard Guiborat crafts meticulous grower Champagne from old vines in the Cramant Grand Cru. Using only first-press juice and minimal dosage (extra brut), this 2018 vintage expresses the pure chalky minerality of the Côte des Blancs with laser precision. The extended aging develops remarkable complexity while retaining vibrant acidity. A Champagne for contemplation.

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!
