Special Club Millésime 2018 Brut Nature

Hervieux-Dumez

$108

Thanks to very wet conditions in the winter of 2018,  the clay-limestone soil of Sacy was well-saturated and ready to ride out the long, hot summer that came later that year. And the abundance of sunshine resulted in plenty of excellent quality,  rich,  full fruit come harvest. While this bottle is absolutely ready to drink now, it could also rest a bit longer under cork — just to see how it changes over time.

See: Light gold with stunning clarity and fine, delicate bubbles

Smell: Toasted almond and ripe notes of apple and pear

Taste: A supple mouthfeel with balanced notes of lemon curd, bold orchard fruit, vanilla bean and citrus rind. Juicy at first with zesty minerality, balanced acidity, and a long, clean finish.

Pair: This cuvée complements a spread of firm cheeses and smoked meats, but it can also round out a lobster dinner featuring baked potatoes and stuffed mushrooms. 

Celebrate: Birthdays, festive gatherings and anniversaries of all kinds call for an exceptional bottle, and this Special Club tête de cuvée from Hervieux-Dumez is it. You’ve been saving it away in the cool dark of your basement, but the table is set and the ice bath is ready. Let the party begin!

Region: Montagne de Reims
Vintage: 100% 2018
Varieties: 50% chardonnay, 30% pinot noir, 20% pinot meunier

Four generations of vignerons have made Champagne at Hervieux-Dumez, a storied house tucked away in the small village of Sacy. At its helm today, Laurent, Clément and Timothée Hervieux encourage biodiversity by keeping bees and letting chickens roam their vineyards to fertilize the land and control weeds. At the same time, the vignerons’ elegant, refined cuvées reflect a passion for the craft and reverence for their family’s traditions. 

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.

  • 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.
