Reviews 94 points Wine Advocate "On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, deep and layered, offering compelling complexity. The wine’s impressive concentration and energy are underpinned by tangy, mouthwatering acidity that propels it toward a long, chalk-infused finish. This is a dynamic, gastronomic Champagne, an eloquent partner for elevated culinary pairings. (KK)" 92 points Vinous "...100% Pinot Noir on chalk, is redolent of white pepper, sage, mint, white orchard fruit and dried flowers. Brisk and salivating, the 2020 impresses with its energy and overall drive. Like so many 2020s, the Orizeaux has a slight vegetal undertone, but it is balanced by other elements in the wine's fabric. (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).
