Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir, Champagne, France

A layered and joyful stunner from one of Champagne’s rising stars! Hélène Charbaut is a 4th genertion vigneron in the Vallée de la Marne. She completed her wine management degree in Dijon, where she became so enthanted in biodynamics that she made it the subject of her dissertation! Now she farms around 3 hectares of wines in three premier cru villages. In each she grows a single grape: chardonnay in “La Crayère”, pinot noir in “La Pirouette’, and pinot meunier in “La Meunière”. Her “Charbauterie” is a combination of all plots, aged for 9 months in barrel before 18-24 months ageing ‘sur lattes’ gaining texture and complexity. There is no finining, filtration, dosage or S02 addition at any point in production. Grilled apple, the season’s first raspberry, lemon pith and wafting dough. Héléne’s first vintage was only 2020, and we can’t wait to follow her promising career sip to sip!

Chardonnay & Pinot Noir, Côte des Bar, Champagne, France

A plump, opulent and concentrated, BRAND NEW to Ontario grower champagne from GW Imports! We were stunned by the precision & FORCE of these zero-zero (or additive free!) teeny-tiny batch Champagnes, and are THRILLED to bring them to you. Patient farmers and winemakers, Salima and Alain Cordeuil’s organic four hectares are sitting pretty in the village of Noé les Mallets, in the elevated, southern Côte des Bar sub-region of Champagne. Their work is gentle, and extremely low-intervention, exploring the possibilities of regionally synonymous grapes through phenolic ripeness and extended lees aging. The stunning ‘Clair Obscur’ comes from two plots of 30 year-old vines of earthy, berried pinot noir (65%) and mineral, tart chardonnay (35%), direct pressed and aged on lees for four to five years before bottling. Rich, cacao-buttery, unsweetened white chocolate, hawthorn, graham spices, cold salted butter on hot toast, green blueberry, rocky mountain glacial runoff and the cold wet rock at the base of a waterfall, chalk, white sugar turning to caramel, lemon-lime powder, grapefruit pith bitters & super fine yet creamy bubbles that bite at you like little fish teeth. Pour alongside life changing news, decisions made or promises spoken, this one’s for commemoration.
