Why We Love It...

This Michel Turgy masterpiece perfectly captures all that we love about Le Mesnil in this vintage Blanc de Blancs – the citrine zip, the orchard fruit richness, the textured minerality, and the very essence of Le Mesnil itself. 6.5 years on the lees, plus another three years under cork take things to a whole new level – one of the most complex Le Mesnil you’ll find under $100 ANYWHERE!

The Grand Cru village of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger just might be Champagne’s most unequivocally revered site. Whether it is a $2000 unicorn bottle of Krug or a delicious bottle of Delamotte, Le Mesnil’s greatness is unmistakable. One of our favorite grower champagne houses, Michel Turgy, just so happens to have ALL six hectares of their vineyards located within Le Mesnil. For this vintage wine, they select the best fruit, from the oldest vines (30-60 years old) they farm…and let the remarkable site speak for itself. 

For over 130 years, the Turgy family has been expressing the soul and substance of Mesnil – faithfully capturing the region’s unparalleled terroir. Peacefully lingering in the shadows of the larger houses in the Côte de Blancs, third-generation grower Jean-Michel Turgy is crafting unbelievable chardonnay-based  wines on Le Mesnil’s famous chalk and limestone soils. After careful hand harvesting, the fruit is pressed in an ancient wooden upright Champagne press. The juice is then fermented on native yeasts in temperature-controlled, stainless steel tanks before secondary fermentation in the bottle. This Champagne has aged on the lees for 78 months – that's six and a half years –  with zero dosage.

This Blanc de Blancs is refined and sophisticated. There are aromas of gardenias, lemon zest, and green apples that lead to a palate of toasted brioche, salted yellow plums, lemon curd, and quince paste. The wine showcases Le Mesnil’s characteristic chalkiness, as a bright vein of tingly, flinty mineral edges carries the abundant fruit into an exceptionally bright and spicy finish. Just an epic Champagne from start to finish. Fantastic stuff that is simply not to be missed

About the Producer

Domaine Michel Turgy was established in the 1920's by Maurice Turgy. Michel took over in 1955 and crafts “grower” Champagnes from his hillside vineyards.  All the vineyards are rated 100% Grand Cru and are located in Le Mesnil sur Oger.  The soils are pure chalk with vines that are 30 years old on average. Vines are cared for according to lutte raisonée principles, adhering to organic practices as much as possible and avoiding chemical treatments. Michel harvests all the fruit by hand and presses with an old fashioned, upright Champagne press. The juice is always fermented on native yeast, aged in stainless steel tanks and goes through full malolactic fermentation. Depending on vintage, all his wines are aged for a minimum of 5 years on the lees.
