2009 Bauchet Brut Premier Cru Vintage Champagne

Established in 1920 the Bauchet family estate covers 34 hectares spread out on 7 different terroirs. The vineyards are located in the Côte des Blancs, the Montagne de Reims and in the Côte des Bar.

These two direct imports are a great alternative to the big houses of Veuve Clicquot, Moet & Chandon and the like, with their distinctive packaging, quality and this special introductory pricing making them exceptional value for Premier Cru Champagne.

Aged in Bauchet’s cellars for a minimum of 5 years before disgorgement, this Champagne is blended from 75% Chardonnay and 25% Pinot Noir sourced from Premier Cru vineyards.

Pours well with a frothy white mousse that shows excellent hold. Pale straw coloured base wine with an exceptionally fine and very profuse bead. The nose has a shade more intensity than its non vintage cousins and shows more classical Champagne aromatics of baked bread, cashew and yeast lees with lightly toasted brioche end notes. Rich and creamy in texture the palate has mouth filling flavours of baked bread, brioche and yeast lees over some cashew and light toast. Clean dry finish. Excellent length with a long aftertaste of yeast lees, baked bread, cashew and brioche.
Cellar 5-6 years.
