Chartogne-Taillet, Hors Série, Côte des Blancs, Champagne 2022

100% Chardonnay from 2 small plots in Cotes de Blancs, the Grand Cru villages of Avize and Oger. 
This is the first time Alex Chartogne has made wines outside of his home village of Merfy, curious to
work with the chalky soils of this area. Vines planted in 1927-1986, the fermentation is long and natural, then aged in old barrels for 9 months before bottling and then aged on slates for 40 months.
