One of the most distinguished characteristics of grower champagnes is that they offer rarity. More of us, more and more, are seeking those individual experiences, those products that aren’t made on assembly lines.
This 5th generation Champagne House, who counts among one of its specialties a few hectares of prize Pinot Blanc, is just one such kind of a unique and artisanal grower champagne. One of their signature cuvées is Trois Pinots brut nature.
And they are forward thinking.
Back when the two brothers weren’t yet even born, the previous generation of champagne maker (their father) had the foresight to lay aside about 50 bottles of 1964 vintage, one of the best and most noteworthy in the last century for Chamapagne’s Aube region. Today, the two brothers have decided it’s time to release these gems.
They are pairing their 1964s with two other grand vintage years of Champagne: 1996 and 2008.
Together, these three Great vintages of the last 100 years in Champagne make up a gift box of distinct and distinguished grower champagnes, unique in the world.
You can pre-reserve now. There are allocations of 10 gift boxes for 5 countries each, including the US, Japan, Hong Kong, the UK and France. The price? €2000
For a gift that can never again be reproduced and one that is sure to bring drops of joy to the recipients, this is a box of wine to take note of.
