Old vines, a single year and one of Champagne's great Chardonnay villages: this is Le Mesnil-sur-Oger from the family that farms it. Les Vieilles Vignes is one of the Charlemagnes' three Mesnillésimes cuvées, alongside Les Coullemets and Les Chétillons. Each one shows a different side of Mesnil through specific vineyard sites and a single vintage. For this one the family draws on three old parcels: Les Hauts Jardins, Les Longues Roies Sud and Les Moissonières. Most of the house range sees almost nothing but steel, and where oak is used it is there for texture, not flavour. Extra Brut means very little sugar gets between you and Mesnil's chalk. The Charlemagnes have pressed and aged their own wine at the top of the village since 1892, directly across from Salon and a stone's throw from Krug's Clos du Mesnil, which is heady company for a grower family. Sisters Justine and Marie, the fifth generation, took over in 2023 and still farm without chemicals, a habit inherited from their father Philippe, a keen gardener who hated adding anything to what people would eat.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Raw oysters or langoustines; sole meunière; seared scallops with brown butter; lobster rolls; gougères or a wedge of aged Comté.

Tasting Profile

Expect the classic Le Mesnil Blanc de Blancs profile: lemon, green apple and white flowers over a pronounced chalky minerality, with subtle brioche notes from long ageing on the lees. Medium-bodied and taut, with fine bubbles and racy acidity, it typically finishes bone-dry, long and saline. Think of a top Chablis with a fine mousse.

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!
