Laurent Benard, Champagne Extra Brut 'La Cle des Sept Arpents' R21, NV

$69.99
Use code 10OFF to get 10% off 12+ bottles

A grower Champagne blending Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Meunier (roughly 45/35/20), Pinot Noir-led rather than Meunier-focused. Laurent Benard is a grower in Mareuil-sur-Ay, in the Vallee de la Marne, farming just under three hectares organically and biodynamically. This cuvee is blended from several parcels including the lieu-dit Les Sept Arpents, planted to Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Meunier on clay-limestone, and the wine keeps its detail through natural fermentation, long aging on the lees, and a near-zero Extra Brut dosage. The 'R21' marks a base of the 2021 harvest. This is grower Champagne at its purest: transparent, saline, and built to show a single site rather than a house style.

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!
