Chevreux-Bournazel La Parcelle Coteaux Champenois Blanc 2016

We have anxiously anticipated this wine from Stephanie & Julien since we began importing their wine two years ago. Their production hasn’t grown since they acquired their second parcel, so it’s been a give-and-take to bring it to life. The give is 850 bottles of 2018 Côteaux Champenois, while the take is from Cuvée Connigis, which will now be even less available than it has been previously. After the most from Cuvée Connigis is racked into a bottle for secondary fermentation, a portion is left in tonneaux for an extra ten months. The extra time in wood brings just enough finesse to balance the natural electrical charge of this Côteaux Champenois while maintaining impeccable balance.
