NV Andre Tixier and Fils Carte Or Brut Champagne

Fortunately when your studio happens to be the chalky soils and pastoral hills of Chigny-les-Roses (south of Reims but North facing) and your parcels are classified as Premier Cru by the bubble authorities of Champagne, it’s easy to let the ingredients speak for themselves. Add the ability for an owner grower like Julien Tixier to control his fate, farming sustainably with certification using organic methods from bud-break to bottle, and you get a result that’s the best balance of all the other spin off styles in the portfolio.

There’s no pretense or anything unusual. Here’s a champagne that’s consistent, like a good yoga practice, and authentic, reflective of the tight acids, buttered baguette, electrified lemons, preserves of berries over vanilla creme brulee, honey, and rose petals from its siblings - all together, all present, and in the kind flow you get in a room harmoniously expressing Ohm to close the practice. Namaste. Enjoy the bubbles at up to 5% OFF when you join our Wine Club!

MAKE-UP Here's what's inside: 50% Chardonnay, blended with 25% Pinot Noir, and 25% Pinot Meunier. Harvests include a blend of the 2014 harvest and Non-Vintage, aged reserves.
