DESCRIPTION

Alexandre Chartogne is doing wonderful work at his family domaine on the Montagne de Reims. Having worked alongside Anselme Selosse in Avize for several years, he has clearly captured the magic and is producing absolutely splendid wines that shine with their underlying terroir. The 2008 Brut Millésime is comprised of a blend of sixty percent pinot noir and forty percent chardonnay and spent five years on its lees prior to disgorgement. The deep, young and very serious bouquet wafts from the glass in a fine constellation of apple, pear, fresh nutmeg, an exotic touch of clove, brioche, a marvelously complex base of soil and just a faint whisper of buttery oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, zesty and rock solid at the core, with brisk acids, great focus and grip, very refined mousse and a very long, soil-driven and still quite primary finish. While the terroir is dramatically different than Monsieur Selosse’s wines, the philosophical link here is very, very obvious, and this stunning young Champagne should be on every wine lover’s shopping list! The wine is still really too young for primetime drinking, but a couple of years in the cellar are going to let this wine really start to sing, and it will be a gorgeous bottle once it fully blossoms. 2017-2035+.
