Blanc de Noirs Premier Cru Brut Nature

Jean Baillette-Prudhomme

$88

Laureen makes this cuvée with pinot noir from her family’s best vineyards. After harvest, she uses a hand-operated Coquard press to extract the juices. To add depth of flavor to the base wine, during blending, Laureen uses a small amount of Meursault-aged perpetual réserve wine that includes vintage from 22 years. The absence of dosage gives this Champagne a beautiful balance of aged aromas and texture with a fresh and vibrant palate.

See: Golden with a smooth effervescent glow

Smell: Grandma’s shortbread cookies, worn leather and potpourri

Taste: Preserved lemon and developed notes of dried apricot and pear, licorice and pleasant bitter herbs. Fresh and smooth on the palate with satisfying structure and tart acidity that lingers in the finish.

Pair: Pour these bubbles with takeout sushi, and don’t skimp on the wasabi and ginger.

Celebrate:There’s a full moon tonight, and you’re ready to harness its big, bright energy to set new intentions and goals for the weeks to come. Be more present, put your phone down more often, celebrate every day — cheers to a new moon and a new you!

Region: Montagne de Reims
Vintage: 100% perpetual reserve (22 years of vintages)
Varietal: 100% pinot noir

Laureen Baillette; her mother, Marie-France; and her sister, Justine, are Champagne Baillette-Prudhomme, a celebrated 5-hectares estate in Trois-Puits on the slopes of Montagne de Reims. A sixth-generation vigneron, Laureen is passionate about every step of the Methode Champenoise from cultivating the vines and pressing the grapes (in a traditional press painted fuschia) to managing vinification and riddling each and every bottle by hand.

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.

  • 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.
