Mémoire

Champagne Huré Frères

Mémoire is a privilege. Privilege to converse with time and contemplate 30 years in a glass. This long term vision is mind blowing. It’s about a solera from 1982, a blend of 30 vintages until 2013. Mainly built around Pinot Noir and Meunier, this Champagne is an energy bubble: citrus notes gradually fade away to make way to roasting nuances. The oak barrel aging gives this wine fullness, vinosity and length. The spherical sensation on the pallet is subtle. There is no oxidation nor heaviness. Not more than 30 months in the cellar before disgorgement to keep freshness and drinkability. Extra Brut with 2g of sugar per liter.

The gold standard for Pinot Meunier cuvées in the Champagne region. Blend: 100% Pinot Meunier from the 'Les Gouttes d'Or' parcel in Pierry. 1,800 bottles produced.

Les Motelettes 2013

Champagne Pierre Paillard

Blend: 100% Chardonnay from a 6,000 Sqm parcel planted in 1961 in the heart of the Bouzy Grand Cru vineyards.

The palate is dense, creamy and voluptuous. This is a distinctive, clear-cut wine with a subtle balance of fruit and flint on the palate.
