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

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!
