Composed predominantly of Meunier (80%) with Pinot Noir (20%) from the 2020 harvest, it is crafted with artisanal precision—aged 12 months in oak barrels and 42 months on lees, without dosage or corrective treatments. Limited to just 3,583 bottles, Yprésien offers a vibrant tasting experience marked by dried fruit, citrus peel, white spices, and tobacco on the nose, leading to a dry, structured palate with saline minerality, chalky depth, and a long, incisive finish—a Champagne that expresses both precision and the enduring memory of its ancient terroir. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eLegrand-Latour Champagne Legrand-Latour is a family-run estate in Fleury-la-Rivière, rooted in four generations of viticultural tradition and a passion for Meunier, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir.

Wines are fermented in barrel with native yeast and no additives, except sometimes sulfur, which is only used prescriptively. If the wine is thriving, he adds zero sulfur. Additionally, there are no pumps, and everything is done by gravity. Furthering his quest for wines without artifice, Thibault embraces a risky and rarely employed method for capturing the bubbles in his wines. Other than the cuvée Ypresien, which uses MCR (rectified concentrated grape must) to initiate the secondary fermentation, Thibault chose to add frozen grape juice to all other cuvées to launch the second fermentation. As of the 2020 vintage, he employs the “Agrapart Method” opting to use fresh, unfrozen juice from the following year for the \u003cem\u003eprise de mousse\u003c\/em\u003e. This approach is not only \u003cem\u003ethe\u003c\/em\u003e way to achieve a Champagne of 100% pure juice, but it also adds no alcohol to the wine, unlike traditional sugar mixture additions that add approximately 1.5% alcohol to the finished wine. This allows Thibault to seek phenolic ripeness and balance in the vineyard without the fear of elevated alcohols in the finished Champagnes. While there is much discussion of this method in the region, it is quite rare to see it applied. Adding frozen juice, though not commonplace, is seen more frequently and will likely be more embraced as growers continue to contend with the challenges of a warming climate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: start; ; white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eAfter bottling, all Legrand Latour Champagnes are aged on the cork for 30-40 months in the family caves, which maintain perfect humidity and temperature.

They are transforming the model of the family business from the traditional focus of growing grapes for large brand producers to one more \u003cem\u003eterroir\u003c\/em\u003e based, or as the Tellier’s prefer to call it, Vigneron Paysan (Peasant Winegrower). Located in the Côteaux sud d’Epernay in the village of Moussy, their vineyard parcels are located primarily in two zones with different soil profiles and thus different varietals. Moussy is just down the hill from Chavot, where Aurélien Laherte is based and who tipped us off to Tellier’s estate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eMoussy \u0026amp; Pierry are Pinot Meunier dominant villages with (59%) followed by Chardonnay (35%) and Pinot Noir (6%). This area possesses a deeper surface of clay laid on top of the classic chalky limestone bedrock, which provides more structure, power and length to the resulting wines.\u003cbr\u003eChavot, Fontaine-sur-Ay \u0026amp; Cramant are villages where Chardonnay is king due to the relatively shallow clay surface over a similar chalky limestone bedrock. This produces wines that show more elegance and high-toned mineral components that are common in the great wines of the Côte des Blancs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eBeginning in 2016, the Tellier brothers began taking back the family vineyards, with 3 hectares to date, and will continue this process in the coming years, steadily growing their production. The average age of vines throughout the estate is 35 years old and a large percentage of them are the result of traditional \u003cem\u003eselection massale\u003c\/em\u003e, whereby the vines are propagated using the best bud material from the estate rather than depending on the generic version available from the local nursery. Farming is organic, leaning towards bio-dynamic, but is not yet certified.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eIn the winery, the harvest from each of the 18 plots is vinified separately, allowing for more flexibility in the blending process, because each plot has its own history, \u003cem\u003eterroir\u003c\/em\u003e and varietal makeup. Harvest is done by hand and the grapes are brought to the cellars for immediate pressing where the musts are protected by inert gas in stainless steel vats to avoid the immediate use of sulfites. Grape musts are allowed to settle for 12-24 hours without any additives, after which time the juice is transferred into barrel. Tellier prefers young but neutral barrels fine grained oak from the forests of the Vosges, Nièvre and Allier regions. Fermentation takes place in barrel using indigenous yeasts and the wines are aged in barrel without sulfites for the ensuing 8 months before blending and bottling, where the wines are lowered into the deep limestone cellars for a minimum 40 months aging on their lees. The wines are then disgorged and receive a minimal \u003cem\u003eliqueur dosage\u003c\/em\u003e or are left as is if deemed rich enough.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Potion Collector","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48071142277352,"sku":"SQ3433945","price":455.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"champagne-tellier-2020-la-goutte-dor-champagne-extra-brut","title":"Champagne Tellier 2020 La Goutte d'Or — Extra Brut","description":"\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e100% Pinot Noir\u003cbr\u003eDosage: 2g\/L\u003cbr\u003eDisgorged November 2022.\u003cbr\u003eBottled and aged on its lees under cork until disgorgement.\u003cbr\u003eSingle vineyard, planted in 2001 in the village of Fontaine-sur-Aÿ.\u003cbr\u003eTerroir consists of 60-80 cm clay covering a chalky bedrock base.\u003cbr\u003eWith a golden hue tinged with green, this wine displays a very fine persistent bead.\u003cbr\u003eThe first nose is very fruity and very refreshing, and offers notes of yellow fruit and melon, with a mint background.
