Champagne Marc Chauvet — Rilly-la-Montagne
Based in the tiny village of Rilly-la-Montagne, the Chauvets have been making Champagne here since 1529. Winemaker Clotilde Chauvet and her viticulturist brother Nicolas are putting the family’s centuries years of experience into every bottle produced from their 32 acre estate on the Montagne de Reims. They produce non-vintage Brut cuvées that are generally 2/3 Pinot Noir and 1/3 Chardonnay, and vintage bottlings that are about 70% Chardonnay.
