"35% Chardonnay, 50% Pinot Noir and 15% Meunier.  10% of the blend from 2009, 60% from 2010 and 30% from 2011. 9g/L dosage and December 2014 disgorgement.  

In the midst of the Marne Valley, in the tiny village of Montgenost, is the estate of Jacques and Brigette Copinet. With herbicide and pesticide free parcels in Villenauxe a Grande, Verpillieres sur Ource, Cuchery and Chantillon du Marne, complexity is the hallmark of these mineral rich wines. Now in the steady hands of Marie-Laure and Alexandre, Jacques Copinet Champagne NV is always a blend of three vintages, and the result is a wine of sheer excellence. No herbicides or pesticides are used. Champagne is bottled and matures in the frigid chalk cellars beneath the family home." -Winery
