The house that made Churchill’s favorite Champagne, and one of the last great family-owned grande marques. This Blanc de Blancs is drawn exclusively from grand cru Chardonnay across six villages of the Côte des Blancs, hand-riddled in the cellar and aged a minimum of six years on its lees. After the chiseled, precise 2013, the 2015 is cut from richer, broader cloth — a touch more sun-kissed and vinous, marrying textural intensity with striking freshness. Expect golden orchard fruit, Asian pear, lemon preserve, white flowers, and warm biscuit, with salted almond and a whisper of mocha emerging over a fleshy core, lively acids, and a precise, chalky-saline finish. Power and finesse in equal measure, drinking beautifully now and cellar-worthy through 2034.
