Tasting notes
From three premier cru vineyards. 60% Pinot Noir. Apple blossom, crushed pear, melon skin. Floral texture. The finest of bubbles, almost not there, and then they leave an imprint on your tongue long after. Lime sherbet and stones and yet there is softness at the core of this wine. (TC)

The 2018 Brut Spécial Club 1er Cru is forward, elegant and very easy to like. Baked apple tart, spice, vanillin, candied lemon peel and tangerine oil all grace this soft, charming Spécial Club. The 2018, a blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay, looks like a near and medium-term drinking offering, so I would not push my luck on aging. Dosage is 4-6 grams per liter. Disgorged: April 14, 2022.
60% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay. Vinified in small stainless-steel tanks, malo is encouraged. 48 months sur lattes. Apple mousse. Fresh, crunchy, clean, like a mouthful of apple with some minty popping candy. Bright and energetic. Not as complex as other grower champagnes at this price in this line-up. Although the finish is good, firm, tasting of green hazelnut. Longer than the other Hébrart wines. (TC)
