A single-plot Blanc de Blancs from one of Champagne’s most quietly fascinating addresses. Clement & Fils is a fourth-generation grower in Congy, deep in the Coteaux du Petit Morin south of the Cote des Blancs, where Aurelien Clement took the reins in 2013 and converted the family’s holdings to organics. Les Cornambeaux comes from a tiny parcel of Chardonnay planted in 1961, fermented and aged in 205-liter Champagne barrels and dosed Extra Brut at just 1 g/L. The result is chalky, taut, deeply savory Champagne with the texture of a serious white Burgundy and the cut of a wine that has nothing to hide. Only 1,766 bottles were made.
