Brut Réserve Premier Cru Magnum

Jean Baillette-Prudhomme

$150

Arguably, Laureen Baillette's most popular cuvée. Blended with 50 percent reserve wine from her early 2000 vintages plus more than three years on its lees, this Champagne features extraordinary depth, complexity and length of finish. 

See: Clear, luminous, effervescent and unmistakably Premier Cru. Frothy golden bubbles rise in regular streams and form a full bead on the surface.

Smell: Apple, red currant and yeast followed by a smorgasbord of white flowers, bread and tart candy

Taste: Delicate effervescence. Finishes long with the perfect balance of acid and sugar. 

Pair: Pop this bottle pre-meal as an apéritif or with a bonafide feast starring a roasted ham dressed in fresh herbs.

Celebrate: The tent is pitched perfectly, the fire is crackling and your bubbles are on ice in the Yeti next to the condiments and tomorrow morning’s breakfast burritos. You sit back in your comfy reclining camp chair and notice the stars beginning to speckle the night sky. This is car camping at its best.

Village: Trois-Puits
Region: Montagne de Reims
Vintage: 50% 2018, 50% vin de réserve
Varieties: 33% pinot noir, 33% chardonnay, 33% pinot meunier
Disgorgement: January 2022
Dosage: 8 g/l

Laureen Baillette; her mother, Marie-France; and her sister, Justine, are Champagne Baillette-Prudhomme, a celebrated 5-hectares estate in Trois-Puits on the slopes of Montagne de Reims. A sixth-generation vigneron, Laureen is passionate about every step of the Methode Champenoise from cultivating the vines and pressing the grapes (in a traditional press painted fuschia) to managing vinification and riddling each and every bottle by hand.

We Care Deeply About Your Grower Champagne.

Select “pick up” during check out, and we’ll safely store your bubbles in our temperature-controlled cave until you can collect them. Once we notify you that your order is ready, pop by at your convenience to pick it up and enjoy a splash. Or, if you prefer, give us a call, and we’ll bring it to you curbside.

Our new compostable, insulated packaging keeps your Champagne safe from breakage and at a constant temperature from our cave to you. Even so, we monitor the weather where you are, and if we feel that extreme heat or cold may affect the quality of your bubbles, we’ll be in touch to offer you options.

Out of town? On the run? Use the "Special Requests" field in your shopping cart or email us at info@fatcork.comto let us know. We’ll work with you to get the timing just right.

  • Can you provide recommendations?

    We thought you’d never ask! Whether you’re choosing Champagne for yourself or a gift for someone else, fatcork celebration specialists have you covered! Need help pairing a bottle from your club allocation for your dinner party? We can help there too! In our online bottle shop, you’ll discover an assortment of beautifully curated bundles and gift sets. If you still can’t find what you’re looking for, call or email us, and we’d be happy to help you navigate our inventory of delicious bubbles.

  • Do I have to be a club member to shop bottles?

    No way José. All are welcome to purchase any of our delicious bubbles online or in person at the fatcork cave.

  • What do I do if my Champagne is corked?

    Damp, wet cardboard? That’s not on the tasting note! Cork taint is the worst, but all fatcork Champagnes use natural cork closures, so it does happen on the rare occasion. Please let us know, and will happily replace the bottle. Before you throw it away, snap a photo of the back label and we can refer to the code for reference. Email it to info@fatcork.com along with the order number.

  • Can I return or exchange my bottles?

    We aim to please. Call or email us, so we can talk about what happened and how we can make things right.
