J Vignier, Champagne Deux Terres Blanc de Blancs Brut, 2010

A vintage Blanc de Blancs that spent at least eight years on its lees in bottle, and it joins two very different corners of Champagne through one family's vines. The "two terroirs" are 50- to 60-year-old vines in Le Bateau, in the grand cru village of Cramant, and Les Bercottes, a chalk parcel in Sézanne, in the village of Barbonne-Fayel. The best part is that the Sézanne vines were planted by massal selection, from cuttings taken from the family's oldest Cramant parcels, so the two sites are actually related. 2010 was not an easy year. Summer thunderstorms made vineyard work very difficult, ripening dragged late into the season, and bad grapes had to be sorted out in the vineyard and again in the cellar. Still, the fruit reached great ripeness in the end. The wine was fermented and aged in stainless steel, bottled the following May and finished with just 2.8 g/L of residual sugar, so no oak or sweetness gets in the way of all that lees time. Nathalie Vignier is the tenth generation of her family to farm in Champagne, and she and her husband Sebastian sum up their approach as "Less is more. Stay close to your vines. Never think you know it all. Nature decides." Most people expect this kind of patience from far grander labels, not from a family grower.

More about J Vignier

Nathalie Vignier's family has grown Chardonnay in the grand cru of Cramant since the 1860s, and in 2014 she came home to run the estate with her brother Jean. Alongside Cramant parcels like Les Fourches and Chenelots, the family farms vines in the Côte de Sézanne planted by her grandparents, home to the single-parcel Silexus Sezannensis from flint and sand over chalk. Farming is certified sustainable, and the wines see long stretches in bottle, often seven years or more, before release.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Raw oysters or a platter of langoustines; turbot or sole in beurre blanc; butter-poached lobster; warm gougères or a wedge of aged Comté.

Tasting Profile

Expect the classic Blanc de Blancs profile from chalk-grown Chardonnay: lemon, green apple and white flowers, deepened by the brioche, toasted nut and creamy notes that long ageing on the lees typically brings. Steel fermentation and a very low dosage keep it dry, taut and mineral, with fine, persistent bubbles and a long, chalky finish.

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!
