About the Winery: In the heart of the chalk wonderland of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Didier Vergnon and his son Clement are the 4th and 5th generations to lead this small 5 hectare estate. Founded in 1950, it was in 1985 that Jean-Louis Vergnon first began producing estate-bottled wine from some of their choice sites, including multiple Grand Cru parcels in and next to the legendary Les Chetillons. Since Jean-Louis took over, he pushed to harvest only balanced and ripe grapes, with up to 11 degrees of natural potential alcohol or more. This allowed the family to completely eliminate chaptalization, block malolactic fermentation, and use a generally very low dosage across the range. Tasting through the remarkable range of Didier and Clement’s wines, there exists the classic virile qualities of Le Mesnil that has made this village so famous and lauded around the world. The current releases are truly brilliant and the future is truly bright.

About the Wine: This is a racy wine with an excellent texture. The aromatic complexity is combined with undeniable qualities of balance. Sustainably farmed 50-year-old vines on average, the base for this wine comes from the 2012 vintage with 25% reserve juice. Tank fermented and aged, blocked malolactic fermentation, and aged for 48 months on the lees. 5 g/L dosage. 100% Chardonnay.
