What's Pressoir Drinking? Champagne Chartogne-Taillet

Last week I celebrated my birthday with a bottle of Chartogne-Taillet Les Couarres Champagne and it did not disappoint. Every time I pop the cork on a bottle of Alex’s wines I am amazed by their precision and depth. This wine was so good and had a wonderful balance of power and subtlety, with a richness on the palate - a broad character that was enjoyed with our roast chicken dinner.

From the 2010 vintage, this bottle was disgorged in June 2014. Not a baby any more! Predominantly Pinot Noir (60%) blended with Chardonnay (40%). Les Couarres is a terroir in the center of Merfy, its soils are sand over clay.

Don’t miss the opportunity to taste this wine alongside 11 other cuvées at the upcoming Pressoir Dinner featuring the wines of Chartogne-Taillet at Momofuku on July 13. The details are here!
