Chartogne-Taillet Chemin de Reims 2019 750ml

(DISG. MAR 24). Chemin de Reims is a small plot of just over one hectare in Merfy
planted in 1980, 1995 and 2011. It faces south/southeast and is rich in Thanetian
sands, with iron-rich layers above the sandstone base. Alexandre tells us its
character translates directly to the wine, making full, structured Chardonnays
with a slightly ferrous texture.
This Blanc de Blancs matured in 350- and 600-litre casks, with Alexandre
choosing coopers that lean towards a tighter grain to ensure a more protective
environment for his wines. This, along with regular topping up, low dosage and
general precision in the cellar, allows him to preserve purity of expression. The
result is arguably Chartogne-Taillet’s most powerful and vinous cuvée.
Dosage 4.15 g/L
