Dorien No. 62 Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Brut Nature

Stéphane Regnault

$136

This cuvée highlights grapes from a specific plot (“lieu-dit” in French) called Hautes Mottes. Two-thirds of the juice ages in steel vats and one-third ages in second-hand Burgundy barrels. Then, once it is blended, the Champagne ages sur lie for more than four years before disgorgement. This plot is known for its structured topsoil, pure compact chalk and clover-based grass cover. 

See: Pale blond with elegant bubbles 

Smell: Lemon zest, hyacinth petals and dusty chalk

Taste: Meyer lemon and green apple skin with salty sea air, stoney minerality and sweet, fragrant florals. Delicate, fresh and structured. Complexity in the midpalate unfolds into a crisp, long finish.

Pair: This Champagne goes swimmingly with tuna sashimi or shucked oysters and a squeeze of lemon. It is also a perfect counterpoint to fried chicken, soft scrambled eggs with a dollop of caviar, or buttery-crusted quiche Lorraine.

Celebrate: Every day of this past month has been busy and full. Never a dull moment. Dinner plans canceled on Saturday and you finally have a whole weekend with nothing planned. Lucky you, you still remembered to chill down a bottle. Cheers to a little R & R.

Village: Le Mesnil-sur-Oger 

Region: Côtes des Blancs

Vintage: Base vintage 2017

Varietal: 100% chardonnay

Disgorgement: 02/23

Dosage: 1 g/l

Renaissance man Stéphane Regnault enjoyed careers as both an aerospace engineer and a sommelier before taking over the family land in 2007. He is the first in his family to make Champagne from the grapes grown on their 4 hectares of certified organic and biodynamic vineyards in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger on the Côtes des Blancs. A jazz musician at heart, Stéphane applies a kind of polyrhythmic method to his craft by creating his trio of plot-specific cuvées with a perpetual réserve from the previous vintage, beginning with his first in 2014.

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.
