2012 Vintage Champagne Gift Box
Our Two Cents
A rare and coveted bundle of exquisite vintage cuvées from two select growers from the same year. Each represent a time capsule of specific a specific time, place, and style.
-
The 2012 vintage was an interesting but excellent year. A relatively warm winter flowed into a very wet spring of rain, frost and devastating hail which exposed vines to disease. However, things took a turn for the better just before harvest; steady warmth in August and a smooth steady September allowed the grapes to fully ripen. Grapes this year were fewer in quantity but high quality. They were rich and rounded while yet there was beautiful acidity. Expect depth, complexity, and full aromatics.
Included:
- 1 x Jean Baillette-Prudhomme Millésime 2012
- 1 x Didier-Ducos Millésime 2012
- handwritten gift note

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.
