A walled clos in Champagne is rare enough; this one is the only one in the Aube, cut into the chalk hill of Montgueux outside Troyes. Emmanuel Lassaigne farms the roughly two-acre Clos Sainte-Sophie — a parcel the Valton family held for about a century, and whose fruit Charles Heidsieck once bought for its top blends — and bottles it on its own as a vintage-dated Blanc de Blancs from vines past 40 years old. It ferments in used barrels, Cognac casks among them, is blended in tank, then left roughly six years on the lees in bottle before Emmanuel disgorges it by hand with zero dosage. He farms organically without bothering to certify, uses sulfur only at the press, and lets fermentations start on their own. This is the deep end of grower Champagne: chalk, tension, and no makeup at all.

More about Jacques Lassaigne

Emmanuel Lassaigne, the current steward, restored credibility to Montgueux—Champagne's once-forgotten terroir at the region's edge. He ferments with native yeast only, disgorges by hand, and adds minimal sulfur. The fruit-forward, mineral-driven Champagnes he makes feel like the region's secret finally being told.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Oysters and the raw bar, turbot in brown butter, roast chicken, or aged Comté.

Tasting Profile

Lemon, white peach and orchard fruit over deep chalky salinity. Bone-dry with no dosage, taut and structured, with a long, mineral, saline 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!
