JM Seleque: The Soliste range presents wines from our village of Pierry, from one plot, from a single varietal and vintage. We have chosen them for their identity, their quality and their specificity - the best representations of our terroir. You already know Soliste Meunier, Soliste Chardonnay, Infusion Meunier Rosé and this year we introduce Soliste Pinot Noir. Soliste Pinot Noir comes from our "Les Gayères" property, located in the upper part of the west-facing central slope of Pierry. It was planted by my father in 1974 on cool Sparnacien clay soil, a distinctive soil of the region that contains freshwater quartz stones (formerly sought after in the production of millstones) and contributes to the distinctiveness of Pierry's wines. The Pinot Noir ripens late here and benefits from the setting sun to refine its aromas at the end of the harvest. This property also supplies the red wine for our Solessence Rosé Cuvée.

Jacques Lassaigne Le Cotet
100% Chardonnay Dosage: 0g/l 10-20% reserve wines from up to 4 vintages Vinification: 70% in steel, 30% in oakUnfiltered and unfined The vineyards are all located at Montgueux, between the Côte des Blancs and the Côte des Bar in the very south of Champagne, on a chalk cliff. Le Cotet is a small plot facing east that Jacques Lassaigne planted between 1964 and 1967. Since 1999, his son Emmanuel Lassaigne has been vinifying the wines on 4.7 hectares of his own property and 1.5 hectares of purchased grapes from trusted winemakers that meet Emmanuel's quality standards. The chalk soil is already fully developed 10 cm below the surface. The average age of the vines is 49 years, no use of pesticides or other chemicals, Guyot vines, late manual harvesting when the grapes are optimally ripe, soft pressing in a traditional basket press, spontaneous alcoholic fermentation on the lees, of which 1/3 in barriques and 2/3 in stainless steel tanks, malolactic fermentation is not avoided, no sulphurisation until bottling, ageing on the lees for 12-14 months depending on the vintage in partly new and used barrels, The base wines are bottled without fining and filtration. Bottle fermentation sur lattes of 3 to 4 years, then by hand à la volée.

Georges Laval Cumières Premier Cru Brut Nature L23 - Bio
Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier Dosage: 0g/l vinified in oak for 8 months 18 months of bottle maturity Peter Liem: Laval releases his non-vintage champagne as both a brut and a brut nature: the brut usually has between four and five grams of sugar per liter, while the brut nature is, obviously, non-dosé. In the past, Georges Laval used to make this wine with one-third of each variety, but since 1992 the percentage of chardonnay has been increased, and today Vincent Laval's blends are normally made up of about half chardonnay, although the exact proportions can change according to the base year. In addition, the proportion of reserve wine can vary dramatically: some versions are actually made entirely from a single year, while others can incorporate small amounts of wine from previous years, as Laval sees fit. With Laval's meticulous selection and attention to detail, this is hardly an ordinary non-vintage brut, often showing a level of expression and complexity that can rival other producers' vintage champagnes, and it is also a wine that's well worth keeping in the cellar.

Larmandier-Bernier Terre de Vertus 2017 - Bio
100% Chardonnay Dosage: 0g/l No blending for this single-cru Champagne: Chardonnays only, coming from the vineyard plots of Les Barillers and Les Faucherets situated mid-slope in Vertus, facing south-east. One terroir only and one vintage only. Vinification and maturation: The natural alcoholic fermentation (natural yeast) and the malolactic fermentation begin spontaneously in our casks, our wooden vats and our stainless-steel tanks. The wines are left on their natural lees for nearly a year and undergo gentle bâtonnages, but no filtering or fining. If the year merits it, this cuvée will be bottled in July without any blend with other years - it is a vintage - or other terroirs - it is a single vineyard. Then the bottles are then taken down into the coolness of our cellars, where the second fermentation and the maturation 'on laths' quietly take place over a period of at least 5 years. Each bottle is disgorged manually 6 months before being marketed. This wine is non dosé (no sugar added), in order to respect its purity from beginning to end. Tasting notes - WineSpectator.com, December 7, 2017 - 91 points: Fresh and floral, this is well-cut and minerally, with finely meshed flavors of apple tarte Tatin, grated ginger, honeycomb and slivered almond. Rich, yet vibrant throughout. - Alison Napjus

Vouette & Sorbée Blanc d'Argile Brut Nature R20 - Bio
100% Chardonnay Dosage: 0g/l Peter Liem: In 2004, Gautherot began bottling a pure chardonnay called Blanc d’Argile, from the Biaunes vineyard. The vines here are young, having been planted in 2000, and unlike Vouette, which faces south, Biaunes has a western exposure, meaning that the grapes take a long time to ripen. Yields tend to be very low (a mere 15 hl/ha in 2004, resulting in only 1,100 bottles being produced), as Gautherot prunes the chardonnay here to only five bunches per vine, and this is well-reflected in the ample, mouth-filling character of this wine.
