The estate is unique in Champagne for maintaining the rare tradition of vinifying and aging 100% of their base wines in large oak casks (foudres). As a member of the prestigious Club Trésors de Champagne, their \"Special Club\" release is subjected to rigorous blind tastings by fellow growers before approval.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2015 \"Special Club\" is a Meunier-influenced blend grounded in Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Fermented in oak casks and aged on its fine lees in bottle for nearly eight years before disgorgement, the 2015 vintage displays a rich, vinous profile: baked yellow apples, mirabelle plum, toasted brioche, candied ginger, and subtle pastry cream, underscored by a fine mousse and a chalky line of acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrestigious Club Trésors de Champagne (\"Special Club\") bottling, representing the apex of grower Champagne.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRare 100% oak cask (foudre) base wine fermentation, lending exceptional texture and micro-oxygenated depth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNearly eight years of lees aging produces deep autolytic notes of brioche, hazelnut, and yellow orchard fruit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow To Serve It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eServe slightly warmer than typical Champagne, between 48°F and 52°F, to let the vinous oak-aged layers bloom.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo decanting required; open and allow it to evolve naturally in the glass over 30 minutes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePour into all-purpose stems to capture its complex autolytic and oak-aged bouquet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn exceptional partner for roasted poultry, seared scallops, lobster, or aged Comté cheese.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SommSelect","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47909010407478,"sku":"SOMM2609-CEF15SPC-750","price":189.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/3628\/8822\/files\/Copyof2015ChampagneCharlieretFils_SpecialClub_ValleedelaMarne_MontagnySousChatillon1.png?v=1790622947","url":"https:\/\/sommselect.com\/products\/2015-champagne-charlier-fils-special-club-brut-montigny-sous-chatillon","provider":"SommSelect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
