Chartogne-Taillet Les Couarres 2020 is a single-vineyard Champagne from the esteemed Chartogne-Taillet estate in the village of Merfy. This cuvée derives from the Les Couarres plot, characterised by its sandy and clay-rich soils, fostering distinct terroir expression. The 2020 vintage, marked by warm weather, results in fruit-forward wines with palpable depth. Featuring a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, this release is vinified partially in oak, contributing to a layered structure. Expect a harmonious interplay of ripe citrus, nuanced oxidative hints and mineral undertones, leading to a precise and refreshing finish.
