Lydien No. 80 Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature

Stéphane Regnault

$136

This cuvée highlights the grapes of a specific historical plot (“lieu-dit” in French) named Le Chemin de Flavigny and is the fruitiest of Stéphane’s offerings. The vigneron ages the juice for eight months after fermenting 75 percent of it in a stainless steel tank and 25 percent of it in a used 228-liter Burgundy barrel. He then ages the wine for an additional three years sur lie before disgorgement. This plot is known for its light topsoil, compact chalk and natural grass cover. 

SEE: Duckling yellow with tiny, intense bubbles 

SMELL: Fresh lemon and wet stone. Bright and fragrant.

TASTE: Lush and complex with notes of apple and pear, floral white muscat and green tea leaves. Chalky minerality, bright acidity and a lingering finish.

PAIR: Go casual chic with Pringle potato chips topped with crème fraîche and a dollop of California white sturgeon caviar. Or, pair this cuvée with a comfort-snack favorite like fried mozzarella sticks and fresh marinara.

CELEBRATE: As you step back to admire the steep, perfectly symmetrical and angular design of the roof, you can hardly believe it’s true: After years of dreaming and scheming, your little A-frame cabin in the woods is ready for you. It’s time for your very first soak in the cedar hot tub and a glass of cold bubbles on the deck.

Village: Le Mesnil-sur-Oger 

Region: Côtes des Blancs

Vintage: Base 2018

Varietal: 100% chardonnay

Disgorgement: 06/23

Dosage: 1 g/l

Renaissance man Stéphane Regnault enjoyed careers as both an aerospace engineer and a sommelier before taking over the family land in 2007. He is the first in his family to make Champagne from the grapes grown on their 4 hectares of certified organic and biodynamic vineyards in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger on the Côtes des Blancs. A jazz musician at heart, Stéphane applies a kind of polyrhythmic method to his craft by creating his trio of plot-specific cuvées with a perpetual réserve from the previous vintage, beginning with his first in 2014.

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.
