Then, in 2015, her father passed away, leaving behind a Chablis domaine legendary for its extraordinary collection of old-vine parcels, but a winery not necessarily known for quality. She came home and changed everything. Her father, Guy, had the foresight to assemble these plots in the 1950s and '60s when others were abandoning Chablis after devastating frosts. He refused to pull up the old vines, securing a viticultural treasure that included a prime piece of the Grand Cru Blanchot.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-slate-node=\"text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\" data-slate-leaf=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan data-slate-string=\"true\"\u003e Marie-Ange inherited that treasure and, with a new focus on quality, transformed the domaine into one of Chablis' most exciting producers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-slate-node=\"element\" class=\"py-[3px]\"\u003e\u003cspan data-slate-node=\"text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\" data-slate-leaf=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan data-slate-string=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"w-full my-[1px]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-slate-node=\"element\" class=\"py-[3px]\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-slate-node=\"text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\" data-slate-leaf=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan data-slate-string=\"true\"\u003eBlanchot is the most unique of Chablis' seven Grand Crus. As the southeasternmost vineyard, it faces the morning sun, a gentle exposure that ripens the Chardonnay grapes slowly and preserves a piercing, electric acidity. The soil here is pure Kimmeridgian millefeuille—a \"thousand-layer\" cake of white clay and fossilized oyster shells laid down 150 million years ago. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-slate-node=\"text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\" data-slate-leaf=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan data-slate-string=\"true\"\u003eGuy Robin's parcel contains vines planted in the 1950s, now over 70 years old. These \"vieilles vignes\" have roots that dig deep into that ancient seabed, pulling up a profound, stony minerality that younger vines simply cannot match.

The fruit from these old vines is hand-harvested, fermented with only indigenous yeasts, and aged for just under a year in used barrels that impart texture without oaky flavors. The wine is bottled without fining or filtering, delivering the purest expression of this Grand Cru site. The result is a wine that speaks with the beautiful voice of the earth, a direct transmission of Kimmeridgian limestone through Chardonnay. With the 2023 vintage being her last, these bottles are not just wine; they are the final chapter of a remarkable story.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-slate-node=\"element\" class=\"py-[3px]\"\u003e\u003cspan data-slate-node=\"text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\" data-slate-leaf=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan data-slate-string=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"w-full mt-[1em] mb-[1px]\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-slate-node=\"element\" class=\"font-[600] py-[3px] text-[1.25em]\" data-anchor=\"whyyou'llloveit\" data-slug=\"whyyou'llloveit4\"\u003e\u003cspan data-slate-node=\"text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\" data-slate-leaf=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan data-slate-string=\"true\"\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"w-full my-[1px]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-slate-node=\"element\" class=\"flex flex-row ps-[2px]\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"select-none flex flex-row justify-center items-center h-[30px] w-[24px] me-[2px] whitespace-nowrap flex-shrink-0 li-decorator\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"font-sans font-normal text-[24px]\"\u003e•\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"flex-1 py-[3px] font-normal text-[16px] text-[var(--text-primary)]\"\u003e\u003cspan data-slate-node=\"text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"font-[600]\" data-slate-leaf=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan data-slate-string=\"true\"\u003eThe End of An Era:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-slate-node=\"text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\" data-slate-leaf=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan data-slate-string=\"true\"\u003e When Marie-Ange bottles her final 2023 vintage, these wines become instant collectibles.

[\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eGuy Larmandier is one of those Côte des Blancs growers who quietly sits at the center of everything that matters in Champagne. Based in the Grand Cru village of Cramant, the family has been farming Chardonnay here since the late 19th century, with holdings in Cramant, Chouilly, Oger, and Vertus that read like a roll call of great chalk. The wines are unapologetically classical: long-leased, low-dosage, and built around an almost old-school Côte des Blancs texture rather than simple “aperitif” charm. “Cuvée Signé François” is the family’s insider bottling—a Blanc de Blancs drawn from their oldest vines, named for François Larmandier as a sort of personal signature on what the estate does best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eThe 2012 “Cuvée Signé François” taps into a vintage that growers still talk about in almost hushed tones: low yields, serious structure, and chiseled acidity wrapped around ripe, concentrated fruit. Old-vine Chardonnay from deeply chalky Grand Cru parcels gives the wine its core of energy and mineral drive, while the Brut Nature\/Zero dosage elevates every detail—citrus oils, crushed shell, pastry, and a faint, noble oxidative whisper from extended lees aging.

What separates Saint-Chamant from most of Champagne is a commitment that few houses would be willing—or able—to make today. The family farms Grand Cru Chardonnay in Chouilly, one of the great villages of the Côte des Blancs, then holds its top wines for years before release. This 2010 Cuvée de Chardonnay spent a full decade aging on its lees before disgorgement, an extraordinary stretch of cellar time that ties up inventory, demands patience, and requires complete confidence in the wine. Few producers can afford to do it. Even fewer still choose to.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe fruit comes entirely from Grand Cru Chardonnay vineyards rooted in the chalk and limestone soils of Chouilly, a village long prized for producing some of Champagne's most complete expressions of Blanc de Blancs. The 2010 vintage delivered wines of concentration, structure, and longevity, and Saint-Chamant responded with the kind of élevage that allows a great vintage to fully reveal itself. Fifteen years after harvest, the wine carries the energy and mineral precision that define the Côte des Blancs, layered with the brioche, roasted nuts, citrus oil, and deep textural richness that only emerge after years on the lees. This is mature Blanc de Blancs with the pedigree of Grand Cru fruit, the benefit of a great vintage, and the patience of a family that has spent nearly a century doing things its own way.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-spread=\"false\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA full decade of lees aging before disgorgement—far beyond what most vintage Champagnes receive.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e100% Grand Cru Chardonnay from Chouilly, one of the Côte des Blancs' most important villages for Blanc de Blancs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFifteen years removed from harvest and drinking in a beautiful place today.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow to Serve It\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-spread=\"false\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eServe in a white wine glass at 48-52°F rather than a flute.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGive it a few minutes in the glass to allow the full spectrum of aromas to emerge.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePair with lobster, scallops, roast chicken, aged Comté, or enjoy it on its own and let the wine tell the story.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SommSelect","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46561116258358,"sku":"SOMM2606-CSC10CHA-750","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/3628\/8822\/files\/2010ChampagneSaint-ChamantCuveedeChardonnayBrut_Epernay.png?v=1781194491"},{"product_id":"2023-domaine-bitouzet-prieur-meursault-1er-cru-perrieres","title":"2023 Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur, Meursault 1er Cru \"Perrières\"","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSince our inception, we have championed the pristine Chardonnays of Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.
