Champagne Nathalie Falmet Cuvee Brut NV
Vigneron/Oenologist Nathalie Falmet was the first woman to hold those two titles simultaneously in France - essentially meaning she manages her wines every step of the way from grape to barrel to glass.
She is considered a pioneer for female grape-grower/winemakers in Champagne, with her fuller-bodied yet focused wine styles receiving wide acclaim. Her vineyards are found in the warmer, more humid sub-region of Côte des Bar, where her Pinot Noir dominant blends build more power and weight due to the climate. Her signature style combines this element of richness with a freshness and vibrancy that makes them compelling to drink in any situation.
The 'Brut' is built in a drier style with 80% Pinot noir and 20% Chardonnay in total, with a portion of the Pinot Noir coming from a solera started in 2009 giving an added element of complexity and a lovely balance of power and finesse to the final cuveé.

This almost dry Champagne is balanced and tightly crisp. It comes from a solera that is renewed annually, giving a touch of maturity while also retaining freshness. The wine has a lively mousse and lemon aftertaste, ready to drink now. - Wine Enthusiast, 91 pts
