Jacques Lassaigne, Champagne Colline Inspire, NV

This is the Lassaigne Champagne for people who love white Burgundy. La Colline Inspirée is fermented and aged entirely in 500-liter barrels, and the barrels are old, so they add no oak flavor. What they do give is the slow breath of oxygen that builds the oxidative, toasty richness you'd expect from a fine aged Meursault. It's an Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs from Chardonnay vines more than 60 years old, rooted in heavy clay and chalk on Montgueux, which Emmanuel Lassaigne calls "a chalky hill in the middle of nowhere." This is one of the five cuvées Emmanuel makes every year. Next to the taut, racy Les Vignes de Montgueux it's the broader, more generous side of the house, and the Montgueux chalk still keeps it honest.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast chicken with morels and cream; butter-poached lobster; seared scallops in brown butter with hazelnuts; aged Comté; gougères.

Tasting Profile

Expect a broad, generous Blanc de Blancs: ripe lemon and orchard fruit, toasted bread and a nutty, oxidative richness from fermentation in old barrels, without overt oak flavour. The very dry Extra Brut style and Montgueux chalk typically keep the acidity bright, the mousse fine and the finish long and mineral, a style white Burgundy drinkers tend to love.

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!
