2017 Chartogne-Taillet Champagne Hors Serie #186660203
750ml
Reviews 95 points Vinous "The 2017 Extra-Brut Hors Serie, 100% Chardonnay from Avize, is fabulous. Rich, dense and quite tropical in this vintage, the Hors Serie has so much to offer. It's a fabulous Champagne from Alexandre Chartogne that shows the essence of his craft. Lemon confit, hazelnut, apricot, yellow flowers and exotic tropical notes all build into the substantial finish. The Hors Serie is wild, exotic and perhaps a bit marked by oak, but it is also a total pleasure bomb. What a wine! (AG)"

About Chartogne-Taillet
Alexandre Chartogne is considered to be one of the top young winemakers in the world of Champagne. His impressive background includes working with and learning from his mentor Ansleme Selosse, as well as inheriting over 300 years of family winemaking tradition at the ancient estate vineyard in Merfy. These experiences have undoubtedly contributed to his reputation as a master of his craft.
Chartogne is rare in that he only sources grapes from his own 12-hectare property in Reims, and vinifies each parcel separately to showcase the unique nuances of each vineyard. A truly unique approach in the world of Champagne, where blending is the norm.
Since taking over the estate in 2006, Chartogne's wines have received critical acclaim for their minerality, complexity, creaminess, and richness. Whether it's his inspiration from Selosse or his own passion for winemaking, there's no denying the beauty of Chartogne's wines. As Antonio Galloni notes, "whatever the reason(s), the wines are simply beautiful and are all highly recommended" (WA).
