Pur Noir Blanc de Noirs Extra Brut

Alexandre Lenique

$68

See: Sparkly golden bubbles and a dense yet soft foam with consistent, miniscule beads

Smell: Sunkissed red fruit, flinty chalk, crushed white flowers and orchard fruit playfully mix with baking spices

Taste: Dry, pure and complex with delicate nuanced flavors like red apple skin, orange zest and a kiss of salinity. Lengthy and clean in the finish.

Pair: Try this beauty with poached prawns and lemon-tarragon butter or baked halibut with olive oil, sea salt and a simple salad. We also wouldn’t be mad if you drank this in your pjs with a bowl of warm, buttery popcorn.

Celebrate: You’ve been so busy with work and simply keeping your head above water that you’ve barely had time to think about your upcoming trip. But as you open your calendar, there it is in all caps, and you’re suddenly overcome by a wave of joy and anticipation. T minus 10 days. It’s time to pour yourself a splash and start your packing list.

Vintage: 60% 2018, 40% vin de réserve

Varieties: 50% pinot noir, 50% pinot meunier

Alexandre Lenique’s family has been making wine for more than 250 years — on the same 6 1/2 hectares of vineyards and in the same caves below the historic Lenique estate in Pierry, outside of Épernay. A fourth generation vigneron, Alexandre is passionate about sustainable agriculture. His commitment to protecting the biodiversity of the area and promoting rich soil composition is a driving force behind his incredible cuvées.

Known both for his patience and exacting attention to quality, Alexandre relies on “gravity-flow,” a gentle method that preserves the delicate flavors and aromas cultivated by a slow fermentation process.

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.
