La Garenne Brut Nature - Meunier Parcellaire

Lagille

$108

One of four brut nature cuvées of the domaine’s parcellaire collection, this 100 percent pinot meunier comes from 50-year-old vines on the La Garenne lieu-dit. To make this cuvée, Vincent vinifies 85 percent of his wine in stainless steel and the rest he ages in 228-liter used Burgundy barrels for four years.

See: Intense pink with copper tones and a delicate, foamy mousse

Smell: Red apple skin, crushed raspberries, expressed citrus and fresh topsoil

Taste: A complex and satisfying combination of power and finesse. Macerated strawberry, orange zest and tart, vegetal notes of rhubarb. Clean and bold. Structured with medium weight and creamy texture in the midpalate followed by a long, dry finish. 

Pair: Pink fish and pink bubbles is a no brainer. Pair this with red snapper seasoned with fresh herbs and lemon or pan-seared rainbow trout with capers and brown butter. Add a mixed mesclun salad with crunchy cucumbers and tomatoes on the side. 

Celebrate: Tonight you’re joining friends in their private box for the concert of the year. To put everyone in a festive mood, you’re hosting the pre-party at your place — complete with Champagne, hors d'oeuvres and the set list on repeat.

Nestled within  the river valley and western slopes of Montagne de Reims is Vallée de L’Ardre — the true heart of pinot meunier country and the birthplace of Domaine Lagille. 

Fourth-generation vigneron Vincent Lagille oversees this long-held family domaine comprising 7 hectares of calcareous, clay-rich vineyards as well as grazing pastures and grain fields. And while he is guided by Lagille traditions that have been passed from generation to generation, Vincent is committed to paving a new more modern path for the venerable family domaine. 

One of only 15 grower-producers in the Vallé de L'Ardre, Domaine Lagille has made a name for itself with excellent cuvées that are acutely reflective of their terroir. In the production house, Vincent crafts  cuvées with very low dosage in order to allow the unique terroir to take center stage in its truest expression. 

Several of the domain's most exciting cuvées are part of Vincent’s vision for the future of Domaine Lagille:  single-varietal, single-plot, single-vintage wines that express the distinctive qualities of the grapes grown at the border of Treslon and the neighboring village of Vrigny, all within walking distance of the Lagille cellars.

  • 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.
