Millésime 2011 Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut

See: Sparkly like a disco ball. Delicate gold bubbles frolic with playful effervescence. 

Smell: Ripe yellow apple skin, candied pecan and a kiss of sherry

Taste: Light on the palate with subtle hints of ripe citrus, wet stone and sweet musk. Pleasant acidity and a long, clean finish.

Pair: Enjoy this Champagne with white fish baked in parchment with herbs from the garden and a shaved-carrot salad with currants and tarragon-dijon vinaigrette. Or, take brunch to the next level with a runny omelet filled with gruyere and fresh chives.

Celebrate: After months of delays, your kitchen remodel was worth the wait. That Wolf range. That prep sink. That gorgeous butcher block island. It’s so swoon-worthy, you can hardly handle it. And, best of all, there’s that wine fridge, where this bottle is waiting, chilled to perfection and ready to pop!

For Mathilde Devarenne of Rochet-Bocart, Champagne is more than her life’s work; it’s her legacy. The family domaine was founded in 1956 by her grandparents Jacques Rochet and Claudette Bocart in Vaudemange, a small village at the southern border of Montagne de Reims. At eight years old, Mathilde began helping in the tank room, and soon she impressed her elders with her ability to discern between grapes grown in each of the family plots simply by tasting them. Mathilde assumed her role as head vigneron at Rochet-Bocart in 2015, she now tends grapes from the same land just as her uncle Michel did before her and as her grandparents did before him.  

Guided by the wealth of wisdom passed down through the generations, Mathilde maintains many of the domaine’s time-honored traditions, but she has also added some new techniques and personal touches that make the label authentically her own. From biodynamic methods in the vineyards to blocking malolactic fermentation in the production house, Mathilde’s efforts produce exquisite low-dosage cuvées that are a beautiful reflection of her skill and passion.
