Marc Hébrart Blanc de Blancs 1er Cru Brut

Producer:
The premier cru Mareuil-sur-Aÿ is renowned for producing some of Champagne’s most impressive and lively wines, such as Clos des Goisses from Philipponnat. It is on its steep hills that Jean-Paul Hébrart presents us with an intimate version of the region, creating creamy champagnes, rich in fruit but rooted in the solid pungency of local minerality and grape variety. The dynamic and generous style of this wonderful producer is sure to capture the hearts of everyone, regardless of their level of experience with terroir champagnes.

Wine: A glorious combination of structure and finesse. The profile of a classic, high-end champagne with a long period of contact with the yeasts is evident behind the harmonious, smooth and very delicately bubbled combination. After all, this great “entry-level” champagne is aged for 24 months sur lie, made from 100% Chardonnay from two Grand Crus of the Côte de Blancs and the splendid Premier Cru Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, in the Grande Vallée.
