What do you get when you go out on a limb and try Champagne from something other than a household name? You get a steal in super high-quality bubbly that will impress anyone willing to ignore the label and focus on the Champagne! This comes almost exclusively from the grand cru of Ay, with just a touch of Mutigny, from the highly regarded Les Charmieres parcel, thrown in for spice. The village of Ay faces south and is right on the banks of the Marne. If the vines of Verzenay bring to mind hazelnuts, the vines of Ay bring to mind chalk, and this wine's 9 grams of dosage seem to disappear and marry perfectly with its minerality. Try it now with a Dijon chicken dinner, and then put some down in the cellar for five to 15 years and watch it evolve beautifully.
