A student of Anselme Selosse—his sensibilities show in young Alexander Chartogne's exquisite cuvées. The Les Barres Extra Brut 2010 is alive with olfactive charm. Lemon curd, trinity cream, honeyed bread, mint and marzipan, all of which is underpinned by an earthy-minerally undercurrent that dominates the nose and palate of this handsome 100% old-vine Munier. Texturally, the body is dense and creamy complemented by a find bead and tensile acid spine. It's gorgeous. Sample

50% Pinot Noir et 50% Chardo. C’est bon, une certaine vinosité, pas le plus fin et le plus complexe mais se boit bien. 89-90
Nice without being the most complex and the most elegant Champagne.
