Chardonnay Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature

Elise Dechannes

$148

SEE: Crystalline with pale gold and green reflections and sprightly effervescence 

SMELL: Pithy grapefruit and green apple skin

TASTE: Delicate layers of plump, mouth-watering citrus and buttermilk with bitter notes of apple seed and toasted hazelnut. Round and rich with beautiful acidity and a subtle saline finish.

PAIR: Pour these bubbles to balance the richness of Gruyère mac and cheese topped with shaved black truffle and breadcrumbs. They’d also go swimmingly with a light meal of fish, sushi or raw oysters with a squeeze of lemon.

* There is a purchase limit of 2 bottles per customer. This cuvée is special, rare, and in limited supply.

*Fun fact: The village of Les Riceys is the only wine-growing area in France that can claim three appellations d’origine — AOC Champagne,  AOC Rosé de Riceys and AOC Côteaux Champenois — for its red wine.

Leaving a career in finance behind, Elise Dechannes returned to Les Riceys in the Côtes de Bar region of Aube to take over her family’s Champagne estate in 2008. Dechannes’ vineyards, spread across 5 hectares of limestone-rich Kimmeridgian soil, are perfectly conditioned for the production of the exceptionally elegant pinot noir-based Champagnes that bear her name. A woman of conviction and strength, Elise honors the land by practicing sustainable farming, picking and weeding by hand and allowing her vines to grow with minimal intervention. Her vineyards have been classified as organic since 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.

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.
