By Christie Dufault, ACWP
(NV Alfred Gratien Champagne Brut Classique, Épernay) The 145-year-old Champagne house of Alfred Gratien may be humble, but it crafts some of the most distinctive cuvées in the region. This non-vintage version is a blend of nearly equal parts Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier with a dose of Pinot Noir, all from grand cru vineyards. The barrel-fermented base wine remains in cask until spring, resulting in a wine of unique character, with a chalky, toasted nose and a round, yet minerally palate. Although it is profoundly expressive and flavorful, it exhibits an elegance and finesse that only the top Champagne producers routinely achieve. Hot Picks

Disgorged 02/23.
Somewhat fresher than earlier tastings, maybe due to the quite recent disgorgement.
Anyways, this Champagne always delivers.

Just a terrific nv entry level cuvee. This rested a year in my cellar after release and it benefited from that. Powerfull drink. Goes well with food. E.g. Cod, bacon, peas, risotto.

Grønne epler og litt pære. Heftig syre dominerer i munnen. Epleskrell i lang utgang.

Very good with some, rather prominant, darker notes accompanying the fruit. Little toast too. I think base was 12/13 or so, unsure.
