Le Walin Lagery Blanc de Noirs Premier Cru Brut Nature

Arthur Lelièvre

$128

Arthur Lelièvre released his inaugural vintage in 2021. Making the most of a challenging growing season, Arthur persevered, crafting this 100% pinot noir in the non-interventionist Burgundian style. The resulting cuvée is complex, richly aromatic and expressive of its unique terroir. Its production is limited to 697 bottles per year.

See: Rose gold and reddish pink with green undertones like the skin of a Pink Lady apple 

Smell: Rich, fragrant red berries, topsoil and beautiful cellar musk

Taste: Mineral, fresh and juicy with red fruit notes carrying through from the nose. Body is supple and the midpalate is full. Mouth-coating acidity brings balance and slides into a long, dry finish.

Pair: Pour this bottle with steamed Dungeness crab and roasted potatoes with butter and fresh herbs. For a more casual affair, try it with a roasted leek and wild mushroom tartine with mascarpone.

Celebrate: It’s your birthday month, and we’re 100 percent behind embracing a weeks-long extravaganza that begins now! From treating yourself with your favorite indulgences to spending time with those you love most, each day is a chance to celebrate you!

Village: Ludes

Region: Montagne de Reims

Vintage: 100% 2022

Varietal: 100% pinot noir

Disgorgement: August 2024

Dosage: 0 g/l

Arthur Lelièvre, along with his sister, Ophélie, is the sixth generation to lead Champagne Forget-Chauvet, a Premier Cru estate in the town of Ludes. But while the vigneron continues to craft traditional-style Champagne for the storied family estate, in 2021,  he began making Champagne for his own new, more modern label. Super dry and practically oozing with terroir, his single-vintage, single-plot, very low-dosage cuvées highlight a remarkably focused vision of his family domaine and the micro differences in the terrain of its various plots. Arthur’s production, thus far, is extremely small, and fatcork is beyond thrilled to be among the first to represent a portion of Arthur Lelièvre Champagnes’ micro release in the United States. 

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.

    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.
