Chartogne-Taillet Les Couarres Extra Brut is a complex and traditional Champagne crafted from a single vineyard in Merfy. This wine is characterized by its unique terroir, with clay-rich soil imparting a distinctive "stickiness" to the palate. Expect a rich and enveloping experience with notes of white and yellow fruits, pastry, and minerality. Its high acidity balances the richness, while the wine's complexity unfolds over time, revealing layers of flavor and a satisfying finish.

 

Champagne Chartogne-Taillet is a highly-regarded grower-producer based in the village of Merfy, in the Massif de Saint-Thierry sub-region of France's Champagne region. Since taking over from his parents in 2006, visionary winemaker Alexandre Chartogne has transformed the estate into a benchmark for terroir-driven, artisanal Champagne. Alexandre Chartogne's approach is minimalist, inspired by his mentor Anselme Selosse. The winery practices organic and biodynamic farming, using horses for plowing to avoid soil compaction and promoting biodiversity.
