2016 Marc Hébrart "Noces de Craie" Extra-Brut, Vallée de la Marne, Champagne, France

The 2016 Extra Brut Noces de Craie is fabulous. Rich, powerful and explosive, it exudes Pinot intensity, with layers of chalky, saline notes that run through a deep core of fruit. This is a decidedly virile style. It finishes with tremendous vinosity and all of the textural resonance that is typical of Champagnes from Aÿ

ABOUT THIS PRODUCER

Jean-Paul Hébrart took over the operations of Marc Hébrart Champagne in the Vallée de la Marne from his father Marc in 1997.
