It’s a village where chalk runs close to the surface and Chardonnay is shaped by tension from the start. Since 1894, the Mailliard family has farmed here, four generations rooted in these pale soils, their history set into Vertus as firmly as the vines themselves. Cuvée Grégory takes its name from the fourth generation now at the helm, Gregory Mailliard, working alongside his sister Alexia after years spent learning, quite literally, shoulder-to-shoulder with their father Michel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1370\" data-start=\"536\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;\"\u003eMichel Mailliard was more than a grower.

Though Cuvée Grégory is estate-grown, from the family’s 23 hectares, largely Chardonnay, half in Vertus itself, and made exclusively with Mailliard fruit, it bears the RC (Récoltant-Coopérateur) designation because it is vinified in that shared facility.

The mousse rises in fine, persistent threads. Aromatically, it opens with green apple skin, lemon oil and white peach, then widens into acacia blossom and crushed chalk. There is a gentle autolytic undertone, fresh brioche, almond cream, a suggestion of hazelnut, but it never overwhelms the wine’s spine. That spine is pure Côte des Blancs: saline, linear, edged with citrus pith and a light note of ginger and white pepper on the finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2277\" data-start=\"1868\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;\"\u003eThe Chardonnay dominance reads in its lift and definition, yet Vertus brings a touch more breadth than the grands crus to the north.

An opulent selection of ripe, sun-drenched fruits such as mango, apricot, and greengage plum combines with dried fruits, pistachio and almond. The texture is reminiscent of a crisp layer of nougatine on a velvety cream pastry filled with plump red plums and ripe cherries. The reserve wines, some dating back ten years give the wine lushness.

Freres Brut Ultradition","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the Côteaux Sud d’Épernay, the Laherte family farms just over ten hectares of scattered parcels—limestone, clay, sand, and that flickering chalk seam that makes Champagne Champagne. Most growers spend their careers trying to translate a single site; the LaHertes have spent seven generations weaving a patchwork. Their work is brisk, biodynamic, and human-scaled. Horses still appear in certain parcels; biodiversity isn’t brochure language but daily practice. And the wines show it—vibrant, tensile, a little wild around the edges in the best possible way.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBrut Ultradition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is their entry point, though “entry” feels misleading; it’s more like the handshake that tells you everything you need to know about a person. Built from roughly half Pinot Meunier, with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay completing the trio, the wine carries the clarity and precision of Meunier grown on cooler south-facing slopes. It opens with orchard perfume—pear skin, white cherry, quince—and a chalk dust whisper reminiscent of flint. On the palate, the wine moves with that signature Laherte directness: firm acidity, tense mineral lines, a gentle brush of spice, and a finishing note of something herbal and green—like bruised lemon leaves.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe base wines see fermentation in a mix of vessels—classic Champagne foudres, older barrels, stainless steel—and a patient élevage before bottling. The dosage sits low, allowing the wine’s natural sweetness of fruit to stay buoyant without tipping into plushness. Every decision nudges the wine toward transparency: Champagne not as luxury object but as pure agricultural delight.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow to drink it:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is the bottle you open at the beginning of an evening when you want the conversation to bloom. It’s stunning with raw things—oysters lifted by mignonette, scallops shaved into cold ribbons, a simple plate of radishes with salted butter. But it also adores texture: gougères, fried smelts, tempura vegetables, Comté or young Alpine cheeses whose nuttiness plays in counterpoint to the wine’s taut minerality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUltimately, Brut Ultradition is Champagne that tastes like a place where someone is tending vines with care—where the work is quiet, thoughtful, and across generations.
