2018 Alexandre Bonnet La Geande 7 Cepages Brut Nature 750ml

Discover a rare "kaleidoscope" of Champagne heritage with the 2018 Alexandre Bonnet La Géande 7 Cépages, a unique Brut Nature available in a 750ml bottle. Sourced from the prestigious Les Riceys region in the Côte des Bar, this cuvée is a fascination for connoisseurs because it features all seven grape varieties permitted in the Champagne appellation, several of which are now nearly extinct.

The "7 Cépages" (Seven Grapes) are grown on a single, sustainably farmed plot called La Géande, characterized by its Kimmeridgian limestone soil. The blend includes the three famous varieties—Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Meunier—alongside the four "forgotten" historic grapes: Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Arbane, and Petit Meslier. This 2018 vintage was aged for an average of 36 months on its lees and bottled as a Brut Nature (Zero Dosage) to showcase the raw, mineral purity of the fruit and terroir.

On the nose, the 2018 La Géande is incredibly complex, offering a perfumed bouquet of fresh peach, mandarin, and fig, intertwined with notes of white flowers, honey, and a hint of blond tobacco. The palate is opulent and powerful yet electrically lively, featuring crisp green apple and almond paste with a distinct, chalky mineral tension. Its finish is remarkably long and tangy. Critics have highly praised this rare bottling, with James Suckling awarding it 93 points and Decanter giving it 95 points, noting its fascinating texture.

This Champagne is an essential gift for the "wine geek" or collector looking for something beyond the standard blends. Its structure and acidity make it a superb gastronomic wine; pair it with tuna tataki, sea bass in a salt crust, or a creamy guinea fowl ballotine.
