Le Jardin de la Grosse Pierre 2016

Le Jardin de la Grosse Pierre 2016 is a single-plot cuvée from organic farming. It brings together seven Champagne grape varieties, including Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay and Arbane. That these rare varieties end up together in the glass is unusual in Champagne. The wine spends ten months in barrel and goes into bottle without dosage.

At just 1,700 bottles, this vintage is among the small runs of the house. A natural champagne of this style shows the site and the varieties without make-up, with freshness and fine structure. It goes with seafood, steamed fish and light dishes with herbs. Serve it at 10 to 12 degrees in a white wine glass, and give it a few minutes in the glass.
