Wine Facts DOMAINE PETIT & BAJAN Grand Cru Brut ‘Ambrosie’ Richard Petit’s family roots in Avize go back centuries, caring for Chardonnay on the chalky soils of the Côte de Blancs. Véronique Bajan’s clan hails from Pinot Noir terroir in Verzenay, grand cru land on the Montagne de Reims. Love, then marraige, came first in 1997; then in 1999, when Richard took over his family’s winery in Avize, the idea that they could create wine together blossomed. With Richard’s attention to detail in the fields and Véronique’s tasting prowess in the cellar, the small-batch, grand cru wines of Petit & Bajan are very much the voice of Champagne’s new generation. These are bold, vinous wines that set a higher bar for grand cru Champagne.

Champagne Lilbert-Fils Cramant
Champagne Lilbert-Fils Cramant The written record has the Lilbert family cultivating vines around its hilltop village of Cramant in 1746, and it’s probably a fair bet that they were there sometime before that (the oldest part of their 23-foot-deep cellar dates from 1712). The record further shows that as early as 1907 the family bottled its own wine for commercial sale. Despite such longevity, the house of Lilbert is tiny: it farms a mere 3.5 hectares of vines (this figure translates into 8.6 acres, and unfortunately our old back label erroneously states 9.4 acres). Bertrand Lilbert and his father Georges make only grand cru blanc de blancs from 100% Chardonnay. Their annual production averages 2,300 twelve-pack cases. To put this in perspective, the house of Moët & Chandon pumps out 25 million cases each year. Unlike Moët, the Lilberts make all of their wine from their own vineyards, which break down into 15 parcels in the grand cru villages of Oiry (10% of their total plantation), Chouilly (30%), and Cramant (60%) on the Côte des Blancs. The vine age average is 45 years old. Note that Cramant should not be confused with crémant. Crémant once used to be a term reserved for a style of Champagne with less pressure--and indeed the village of Cramant has a tradition of making wine in such a style, so much so that Lilbert's Perle was once labeled as Crémant de Cramant. But those days are gone and now crémant legally refers to all méthode Champenoise wine made within France but outside of the Champagne appellation." The Côte des Blancs is a ridge that begins just outside of Epernay and runs north-south.

Champagne August 2020
THE LONG AND WINDING RUE AUGUST 2020 GROWER CHAMPAGNE CLUB GROWER CHAMPAGNE NO.1 Larmandier-Bernier “Longitude” Extra Brut Premier Cru Chardonnay Côtes des Blancs, Champagne, France NV GROWER: The Larmandier and Bernier families have legacies in Champagne dating way back to the French revolution, but it was the marriage in 1971 of Philippe Larmandier to Elisabeth Bernier that Champagne Larmandier-Bernier, truly a mouthful in every way, was created. The next generation has taken over the tiny operation, and Pierre and Sophie Larmandier, along with their son Arthur, farm just under 45 acres throughout some of the ﬁnest sites in the Côte des Blancs: the grand crus Cramant, Chouilly, Oger and Avize, and in the premier cru they call home, Vertus. Pierre began farming organically in 1992 and converted the entire operation to biodynamic farming pretty early on in the movement in 1999. The L-B plantings are almost entirely Chardonnay, but they have a few acres of Pinot Noir, and even a wee holding of Pinot Gris. The “Longitude” bottling comes from vineyards that are all in somewhat of a straight line longitudinally, very close to the 4th meridian; but it is also a romantic allusion to the length and depth of the wine itself. Larmandier-Bernier wines are never sweetened above four grams per liter of dosage, putting all of their wines in the category of Extra Brut. The house style is perplexingly full and supple while also maintaining that pure mineral nerve that is the perfectly balanced energetic beauty of the very ﬁnest Champagnes. Fair warning, once popped these bottles never seem to last..

Winery Presentation
VIGNERON À PIERRY THREE GENERATION HENRI SÉLÈQUE Henri SELEQUE, Jean-Marc's grandfather, a native of Poland, arrived with his father in France in 1925. He ran a farm with his wife Francoise Bagnost for many years. His son Richard, wanted to get involved in wine, so he planted the family’s first vines in Pierry and Moussy in 1965. He sold his first bottles in 1969 thanks to the cooperative of Pierry, whose president is none other than his father-in-law Jean Bagnost. RICHARD SÉLÈQUE Richard SELEQUE, Jean-Marc's father began producing his own champagne in the 1970s. He outfitted his operation with a press, tanks, barrels, etc. Wishing to master all the stages of champagne production, he even bought his own bottling and disgorging production line. He is a true technician who still today brings all his expertise to the / THE PHILOSOPHY / THE STYLE / THE MUSIC / FIND US FIND MUSIC / THE THE STYLE/ / PHILOSOPHY THE / vineyard as well as to the cellar.

A Strange Story: When Crisis Leads to Wealth—The Institution of Champagne Wine As a Luxury Good
A Strange Story: When Crisis Leads to Wealth—The Institution of Champagne Wine as a Luxury Good Christian Barrère The very profitable Champagne industry now belongs to the luxury field; indeed, Champagne wine was the first example of a new mass luxury. However, the history of Champagne is special, because initially Champagne was not a good wine but only a standard one. It was one of the numerous white sparkling wines, and under the Champagne name, both the best and the worst could be found. By means of a unique historical process of creativity, the industry succeeded in transforming Champagne wine into a luxury good and in segmenting the old market into two strongly separated compartments, one for Champagne and one for all other sparkling wines. Moreover, this evolution resulted from a major crisis in the Champagne vineyards. On April 11, 1911, the red flag was flying over the vineyards and people were singing the “Internationale”; the vineyards were occupied by 40,000 soldiers. The crisis compelled the sector to evolve or perish. A small group of actors took the lead in the evolution process, creating a strategy based on high quality. This essay tells this success story and considers its conditions. The Champagne industry now belongs to the luxury field; indeed, Champagne wine was the first case of a new mass luxury. In the 1950s, 50 million bottles were sold, but today the number surpasses 322 million, of which 141 million bottles are exported. In addition, Champagne wine has a special position among white sparkling wines: the market for Champagne is a closed market, strongly separated from those for all the other sparkling wines.
