Named for the patron saint of Merfy, this comes from mature parcels of vines in Merfy and Saint-Thierry, diverse, sand-rich limestone terroirs which contribute to the wine’s vibrancy and finesse. Each plot is vinified uniquely, and blended to create a balance where site expression is front and foremost. The wines (equal parts Pinot Noir and Chardonnay) are raised in old oak barrels of numerous sizes and a small proportion in stainless steel. The reserve wine component is over 40%, and the dosage is approximately 4.7 g/L.
“The NV Brut Cuvée Ste.-Anne is one of the great values in Champagne. Broad and creamy, with high-toned aromatics, the Cuvée Ste.-Anne is a total pleasure bomb. The intensity of the flavors is so beautifully dialed up. Orchard fruit, dried flowers and spice all flesh out effortlessly. More than anything, though, I admire the wine's balance and raciness. This release is based on 2018. Dosage is 5 grams per litre. Disgorged: March, 2021.” 92 points Antonio Galloni, Vinous
