Richard Fouquet, fifth-generation custodian of this 1885 family house in Cramant, crafts Tethys from Chardonnay vines rooted in Campanian chalk formed 70 million years ago. The wine is a pure blanc de blancs with a restrained1.5 g/L dosage and spends 24 months sur lattes to develop complexity. Bright, mineral-driven, with lemon zest and white flower aromatics that give way to citrus, pear, and a saline, sapid finish. The terroir speaks through distinct chalky minerality, making this an elegant aperitif or seafood partner.

"The NV (2022) Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Téthys Grand Cru is wiry and tightly wound. Brisk, piercing acids are something of a surprise, but that works so well here. Dried pear, white flowers, chalk, mint and dried lemon peel sizzle across the palate. This taut, vibrant Champagne has a lot to offer. I especially admire how it fleshes out with a bit of time in the glass. The Tethys is a blend of four sites in the Côte des Blancs, vinified and aged in tank, with full malolactic fermentation. Dosage is 1.5 grams per liter. Disgorged: January 2025; multiple disgorgements throughout the year." —Antonio Galloni

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!
