100% Pinot Noir. This 12 hectare domaine is based in Merfy, just north-west of Reims. The young Alexandre Chartogne took over the family domaine in 2006 having trained at Selosse, whose influence is seen in the way he works his vineyards. No pesticides or herbicides used, and ploughing is done by horse. Specialising in single vineyard Champagnes, Alexandre produces eight cuvées. The Couarres-Château is one of two single vineyard Champagnes that Alexandre makes in very limited quantities. Antonio Galloni says his "readers will find very few growers with a deeper love of the land and all it has to say than Alexandre Chartogne." The single vineyard Couarres-Château is grown in sandy soils over tufa. Aged in 3-6 year old barrels. 5.5g/l dosage.
