Julien Prelat Champagne Blanc de Noirs Extra Brut Chantemerle NV
Julien Prelat's rule is simple to the point of stubborn: one grape, one vineyard, one vintage, nothing blended away. He and his wife Karine were the first in the Prelat family to bottle their own Champagne, starting in 2010, working from Pinot Noir country in the Cote des Bar where the chalk gives way to Kimmeridgian marl. Chantemerle is Pinot Noir alone, vinified as a white and finished extra brut, so there's barely any dosage hiding the seams. It's a Blanc de Noirs with real red-fruit weight and a citrus lift on top, and it drinks like Champagne made by someone who'd rather be transparent than smooth. Grower Champagne with a point of view.
