About this gift
The winemaker/proprietor at this six-hectare estate is Jean-Michel Turgy, who created this Réserve Selection specifically for his West Coast importer, North Berkeley Imports; it includes a whopping 30% reserve wine in the cuvée, a significantly higher percentage than what is found in his regular NV Brut release. The specialty here is crystalline, focused Blanc de Blancs from Chardonnay grown almost exclusively in Les Mesnil-sur-Oger. As Champagne geeks know, this village is effectively 100% devoted to Chardonnay, all of it Grand Cru, and by no means is Krug’s famed “Clos de Mesnil” the only distinguished vineyard site here: The village’s east-facing slopes, sheltered by thick woodland on the hills above, are perfect for ripening Chardonnay that maintains racy acidity and beautiful, high-toned aromatics.
Why You'll Love It:
A category-defining Blanc de Blancs that must not be missed! The refinement, energy, and star-bright personality is evident from the first sip.
In the glass, it’s a brilliant straw-gold with flecks of silver, with aromas of fresh-cut green apple, quince, lemon curd, hay, honeysuckle, sea salt, and fresh brioche dough.
