June 2021","description":"\u003cp\u003eChartogne-Taillet Chemin de Reims is a single-plot Champagne of 85 per cent Chardonnay and 15 per cent Arbanne, one of the region’s almost-extinct heirloom varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vineyard is a shade over one hectare at Merfy, facing south to south-east, planted in 1980, 1995 and 2011. Its soils are Thanetian sands, very rich in iron, layered to varying depths above a sandstone base, and the site transmits itself unusually clearly into the wine — the Chardonnay grown here takes on a fullness, structure and almost ferric texture that the estate’s other plots do not give. Arbanne survives on roughly 2.5 hectares across the whole of Champagne, so its presence in a blend at all is notable. Both varieties were raised in a combination of casks of 350 to 600 litres and tank, with Alexandre Chartogne choosing tighter-grained oak for this cuvée and pairing it with regular topping up and a low dosage to keep the site expression intact. This is the most powerful and vinous wine in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrinking now and good for six to eight years. Serve at about 8°C with roast chicken, grilled crayfish or a plate of aged Comté.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur.
