The sensational Chartogne-Taillet Hors Série 2018 is a profound artisanal sparkling masterpiece crafted by legendary winemaker Alexandre Chartogne. Sourced from prized, ancient Avize vines in France’s prestigious Côte des Blancs region, this rare allocation represents the absolute peak of elite terroir selection and limited-production champagne excellence.

Pair this spectacular 2018 Chartogne-Taillet Hors Série with freshly shucked oysters or a classic lobster thermidor to highlight its saline depth. This vintage is suited for significant celebrations and formal dining environments. The micro-production nature of this cuvée makes it a notable addition to a focused cellar collection.

Expect a focused sensory profile of bruised orchard fruit, preserved lemon, and toasted almond biscuit on the nose. The palate displays significant concentration balanced by a piercing chalky minerality and a distinct sea salt tang. This structural tension leads into a precise and lingering finish that reflects the pure characteristics of the Avize terroir.
