Wirth-Michel makes only about 10,000 bottles a year. Nuances de Blanc is his all-Chardonnay cuvée. It comes from Vinay, Moussy and Brugny in the Coteaux Sud d'Épernay rather than the Côte des Blancs, in a small area where 15 of Champagne's 27 officially counted subsoils turn up. The vines are farmed organically and ploughed by horse, and 70% of the estate's plantings are massal selections, old genetic material that keeps yields very low. The house ferments and ages this cuvée in 600-liter barrels, lets malolactic happen and keeps dosage to 2 grams per liter, so the texture comes from wood and lees rather than sugar. Antonin runs his mother's family domaine. His grandfather Alain stopped making wine there in 1999, and he is also the scion of the well-known grower José Michel. This is small-grower Champagne at its most personal, and a smart bottle for anyone who wants their Blanc de Blancs bone-dry but with real depth.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Raw oysters with mignonette; gougères; sole meunière; Dungeness crab with drawn butter; aged Comté; chicken liver mousse on toast.

Tasting Profile

Expect a Blanc de Blancs with more breadth than the lean Côte des Blancs norm: lemon, baked apple and pear, with toasty, nutty notes from barrel ageing and lees. Malolactic softens the edges, but with so little dosage the palate stays taut, with a fine mousse and chalky grip, finishing bone-dry, long and savoury.

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!
