Esprit Brut

Mathieu-Gandon

$60

See: Straw-yellow with extremely fine bubbles 

Smell: Citrus fruits, white flowers and honey followed by fresh rising sourdough and sweet cream

Taste: Citrus zest, spring pea vines and freshly churned butter. Elegant, delicate and fresh with a creamy texture on the palate. 

Pair: Enjoy this bottle as an aperitif, alongside a bowl of popcorn, or with snack combos like pita with hummus and green apples with cheese.

Celebrate: It’s been a long, hectic day, but as you step into the foyer and drop your keys on the console, the sweet smell of lemon and vanilla wafts past your nose, reminding you that the cleaners slipped in while you were away and performed their special kind of magic. All that’s left for you to do is relax.

Fabien and Séverine Mathieu are a husband-and-wife team committed to doing things differently. In their vineyards, spread across the village of Baslieux-sous-Châtillon in Vallée de la Marne, the vignerons experiment with wide spaces between vines, higher trellising and environmentally conscious methods of pest control. In the production house, they craft each cuvée by hand and experiment with fermentation in old Burgundy barrels. Mathieu-Gandon Champagnes are precise, fresh and clean, and they have all aged on the lees for three or more years.

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.
