Overview

The NV Champagne Charlie (2017) is the first release since the 1985 “vintage.” The new rendition embraces the long-held emphasis for this cuvée on reserve wine (despite having previously been labelled as a vintage wine) and now represents 80% of the blend, with only 20% from the base vintage of 2016, the oldest of the reserve wines going back to 1998. The wine is fantastically detailed and unfolds with layers of delicate smoky perfume, peach, and citrus blossoms. A refined and delicate mousse wraps around a core of orchard fruits, quince, and chalk. There is impeccable detail with this edition that will continue to improve over the coming decades. Drink 2024-2044.

The first release of Champagne Charlie since its recreation, the NV Champagne Charlie Cellared in 2017 is based on the 2016 vintage (the youngest vintage remains the “base” of a tirage, even if it doesn’t represent the majority of the blend) and incorporates 75% reserve wines—the principal components being 2009 Oger and 2010 Aÿ and Tauxières. Disgorged in 2023 with a dosage of seven grams per liter, it bursts with aromas of candied lemon, pear, peach and brioche with a hint of praline. On the palate, it is full-bodied, broad-shouldered and textural, with a rich fruit core, lively acidity and a long, enveloping finish. The blend is almost equally divided between Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. By Kristaps Karklins September 2025
