Seems more youthful and structured than the bottle I had 6 months ago. Deep magenta. Loads of tangy red berries and dark cherry fruit over pungent granite. Vigorous in the mouth, with assertive fruit and acids. Some chalky tannins too. Very enjoyable now but seems like it will age a few years (contrary to my prior impression) — a month ago

Charpentier is a small company part of Vignerons Indépendants founded in 1974 in Villers-sous-Châtillon. The brand was created after the marriage of Jacky Charpentier and Claudine Claisse, both first child of two landowners in the Champagne region.
Most of the vineyards are located on the right side of Marne Valley, on chalk. Pinot Meunier is the main product of the valley. Tradition Brut is the entry level, composed mostly by Meunier, with some traces of pinot noir. Chardonnay, if present, is unnoticeable in the final product.
This tradition brut shows great yellow color with golden notes, with a fine persistent perlage. The nose is based on flowers and fruits, starting from citric and expanding to sweeter notes with time. A delicious touch of apricot and candied oranges complete the bouquet. Very pleasant taste, full-bodied and with a prolonged aftertaste. The acidity we found in the nose is confirmed in the sip. A very good pairing with food, we used it as an all-around appetizer and it managed to pair well even with raw fish. — 8 years ago

On this very troubling night in NYC, let’s drink 85 Burgundy. And this was stunning. Direct from Claudine. I hope you are all safe and healthy in these crazy times. These are the times to dig deep in your cellar. Why else lay bottles down other than for times like this...? — 6 years ago

Far more complex than typical SB or Pouilly Fume. Age making it do some fun things. — 10 years ago

These wines need a lot of air. They are intensely mineral and structured wines. Les Loges is a unique place that makes unique wines. Lime, lime leaf, chlorine, mint, bay leaf, hickory switch (shout out to my redneck people who got their asses whooped with hickory switches), and wet rock. I usually hate Sauvignon Blanc. This is emotive for me. — 10 years ago

Claudine Gaunoux owns an amazing slice of Goutte d'Or. The 08 is sensational. No oak just Inox in the making of this burg! — 11 years ago
