2012 Alexandre Le Brun "Cuvée Revelation" Extra Brut Champagne

This Champagne comes from one special plot in the village of Monthelon, half of which was planted in 1950, and the other in 1902. These ancient, massal selected vines are in a super cold microclimate, giving the wine an incredible tension between old vine concentration, Meunier exoticism and nearly Salon like freshness. The tiny, super high quality 2012 vintage has served up a rarity in Champagne, something that has the power of Krug and the lift of Comtes de Champagne. After tasting 100's of bottles, this was my top Champagne of my 2020 June trip to the region and our first allocation sold out in less than a week. We were lucky enough to get another shot at this. Only 1500 bottles were made!
