BRICE ALLOUCHERY 'Haut Bourgeois' 2019

Les Hauts Bourgeois is a stunning single vineyard, 100% Pinot Noir. The vineyard is in the next village over Sacy and is planted to sand, which is rare in Champagne.

Why we love it: There are a few plots in this part of the mountain that feature sand and the resulting wines are always a touch more fine grained, powerful and delicate. That seems like a tasting note full of contradiction and that is exactly what makes this bottle spectacular.

The vibe: Picnic lunch with a charcuterie board and marinated olives.
