Marc Chauvet Brut Tradition Champagne NV
100 years ago the Chauvet family split the vineyard holdings from the cereal farming. At the time, Champagne was in a slump, and this seemed a fair division. These days, it seems very unfair, with the astronomic prices for Champagne vineyards. The extended Chauvet family is a big one—Clotilde has 33 first cousins. When they get together, it’s still a bit of a sore point with the side of the family that got the cereals.
This is outstanding value for a Champagne of this quality. Since Jancis Robinson included it in her Top 20 sparkling wines list in The Financial Times a while back, sales of this Champagne have gone a bit crazy around the world so get in fast.
Brut Tradition is the house classic based on fruit and freshness, and constant taste. Style characteristic of Champagne Marc Chauvet. Chardonnay 1/3, Pinot Noir 1/3, Pinot Meunier 1/3. 70% of the 2020 crop and 30% of previous years reserve wine.
