Marc Hébrart 'Mes Favorites' Vieilles Vignes 1er Cru

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.
