Why We Love It...

We simply had to order a restock of one of our top new Grower Producer finds of the past year after you all scooped them up in record time when we offered some of this before! The level of quality across the entire portfolio is show-stopping, though this bottling may be #1 on our list of their products. With equal parts pinot noir, pinot meunier, and chardonnay, and a fervent 97 points, it’s certain to stop you in your tracks! But, you already know that if you were lucky enough to grab some of this the last time…

We always love a family gig but might have an even softer spot for righteous father-daughter operations in a field that’s been historically male-dominated. This one is based in Sacy, the small Premier Cru village just south of Reims and within the northern reaches of the Montagne de Reims. Christophe is always around, lending a helping hand, though his daughter, Marine, runs the day-to-day winemaking aspects at this point. The facility is small, yet efficient, with just enough tanks, vats, and barrels to make the whole of their 11 cuvée portfolio – most of which scarcely grow above 150 cases in total production. This is a focused artisan producer making some of the best, mostly unknown cuvées in Champagne today! That 97-point score should help drum up some well-merited attention, but we’re forever thrilled to support this off-the-radar house.

This cuvee is a traditional blend of all three noble Champagne varieties, with a base 2019 vintage. The wine also undergoes malolactic fermentation before blending and aging on the lees in bottle for an additional 3 years. No dosage is added or needed, as this “golden cuvée” shines with a bright richness and tremendous depth – perhaps the most layered and complex wine we’ve tasted yet from this portfolio.

Cuvee d’Or is a golden-hued wine that explodes with nutty and toasty notes of fresh-baked brioche, hazelnuts, and pecans, with a bright and piercing accent of lemon verbena. The flavors range from sour cherry to green apple to golden plum – with a zesty effervescence driving the wine to a deep and charged finish. The wine expands further still with time in the glass, and for such a young wine, the integration here is admirable. I can’t recommend this enough – but we don’t have nearly as much as we’d like, so trust me when I encourage you to move quickly on your selection! We have about 25 cases total, and I’m quite certain you’ll want a few of these for your own!!

About the Producer

Marriage of heart and land, Goulin-Roualet champagne results from the union of Mr. Goulin and Miss Roualet, as well as their respective family vineyards. The house is based on three generations of viticulture. The estate includes the three Champagne grape varieties for a greater diversity of our cuvées, mainly in the town of Sacy and the two surrounding villages as well as a plot at "Mont-Benoît" in Villers-aux-Nœuds. The mostly limestone subsoil, the harsh climate and the relief create specific combinations for each of our plots and give our champagne wines their typicality. They vinify and age their wines in vats and barrels to develop a more complex palette of aromas.
