Toasted brioche with creamery butter, crunchy toffee and bunches of wild blossoms—this persistent 100% Chardonnay pulsates with great energy and freshness. Grace, depth and beauty that are both a nod to its noble Le Mesnil terroir and the artisanal talents of winemaker Michel Turgy.
“Light gold with a strong bead. Smoky aromas of singed pear, almond,
brioche and dried flowers. Rich and creamy, with deep orchard fruit and
honey flavors braced by gently tangy minerals. Combines depth and
vivacity, finishing with echoes of nuts and sweet butter. This will work
well with a creamy poultry or shellfish dish.”—Stephen Tanzer’s

Michel Turgy Champagne, Mesnil
11.10.2009
Every vineyard winemaker Michel Turgy maintains is rated grand cru—yet after tasting his wines, you’re instantly convinced that a higher designation may be needed. The family’s cellars, carved deep into Le Mesnil’s chalky soils, provide the perfect conditions for Turgy’s wide selection of base wines. He has more than 20 vintages stored away to create his non-vintage brut—a wealth of Champagne history that few other small houses can match.
