Wafting from the glass with a complex bouquet of crisp yellow orchard fruit, lemon oil, dried white flowers and a delicate hint of praline. On the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied, with a fleshy but youthfully tight-knit core of fruit, ripe but racy acids, a pinpoint mousse and a long, intense finish. Elegant and classy.

Producer Information

Stphane Coquillette is a fourth-generation winemaker in Champagne. His father, Christian, has been running the Saint Chamant Champagne house since 1950, and he lovingly sent his son out to start his own estate when Stphane was 25. Though mentored by his father, Stphane developed a very different style of expression at his own house, creating leaner, drier Champagnes, primarily from Chouilly (Grand Cru), Cuis (1er Cru 99%) for Chardonnay, and d’A (Grand Cru) and Mareuil/A (1er Cru 99%) for Pinot Noir. Meticulously committed to organic practices, Stphane avoids herbicides at all costs. Everything is done by hand, including trellising and pruning, which helps avoid disease and allows for a healthy crop. With more than 10 different parcels, he produces several single-vintage and single-vineyard Champagnes – a rarity in this region – and all his wines are smallproduction. Stphane Coquillette Champagnes are characteristically precise, fresh and lively.
