“This Cuvée Ste.-Anne is impeccable… Don’t miss it!”
– Antonio Galloni, Vinous
Under Alexandre Chartogne’s guidance, the wines of Chartogne-Taillet are some of the most sought-after Champagnes being produced. Alexandre worked with Anslem Selosse, who he describes as “my wine father”.
Watching the wines, vineyards and Alexandre himself evolve over the last 15 years has been extraordinary. His goal is “to respect the soil populations as much as I can”. His work is followed by Claude and Lydia Bourguignon, the two foremost experts on soil microbiology.
Per Alexandre “I do not use chemicals, herbicides, insecticides … and plough half of my vineyards with my horses. Most of the work is made by hand…Everything is fermented with 100% native from the vineyards,
without pied de cuve” says Alexandre. Ste. Anne is a beautiful Brut Blanc, and an excellent lesson in just
how fine wine from “cru normal” made with expertise and care can be!
(Blend of 40% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir & 20% Pinot Meunier)
“An absolutely stunning Champagne for its complexity, value and soulfulness. Rich and creamy on the palate, with tons of resonance, the Cuvée Ste.-Anne is impeccable. Dried orchard fruit, spice, pastry, baked apple tart and lemon confit all infuse the Cuvée Ste.-Anne with striking complexity and depth. I can’t think of too many Champagnes that deliver this level of quality for the money. Not surprisingly, I have seen it offered by the glass in a number of top restaurants around the world. Alexandre Chartogne does a fabulous job with this cuvée.
Don’t miss it!”
