Les Couarres Château Extra-Brut Chartogne-Taillet 2010
The wine
Les Couarres Château, the latest cuvée from Chartogne-Taillet, is crafted from Pinot Noir cultivated on a parcel with the same name. Although the plot neighbours the vineyard of Les Orizeaux, it has its own specific terroir and this champagne is distinctive in its own right. Remarkably mineral with saline notes from its limestone soils, this cuvée is skilfully balanced, and while dense, it also retains plenty of elegance and a light quality.
About the Producer Chartogne-Taillet
The Taillet family has been settled in Champagne for many generations. The vineyard is located in Merfy, 8 km from Reims, on the Saint-Thierry massif, in the "small" Montagne de Reims. Since 2006, Alexandre Chartogne has taken over from his parents and, in just a few years, has managed to make great progress in the domain thanks to a focus on biodynamics, working on horseback to avoid soil compaction, extensive plot selection and planting vignes franches or free vines. In the cellar, Alexandre works with oak, stainless steel, amphora, and cement barrels. The result: skilfully and carefully made champagne, rooted in its terroir. A domain that continues to progress… follow it very closely!
