6 bottles Bertrand Charton 2015
"Les souvenirs me reviennent"
Champagne
Bertrand Charton
The estate’s viticultural foundations were laid in the 1950s by the family's grandfather, before being expanded in 1976 by Raynald and Sylvie Charton.
Today, the domain is led by their son Bertrand Charton alongside his wife Marie-Caroline. Upon taking the reins of the family business (historically marketed under the name Champagne Charton-Guillaume), Bertrand launched this eponymous brand. He infused the estate with a modern, focused artisan-vigneron philosophy that prioritizes listening closely to the precise needs of each individual vine.
The estate benefits from an excellent geographical position, bridging two highly complementary sub-regions of Champagne:
-
Méry-Prémecy: Located roughly 15 kilometers from Reims, this terroir in the Vallée de l'Ardre excels in growing Meunier, which brings immediate fruitiness, suppleness, and crisp roundness to the wines.
-
Vrigny (Premier Cru): Highly regarded plots located on the hillsides of the Grande Montagne de Reims, imparting structural backbone, elegance, and mineral definition to the final blends.
The estate grows and masters all three primary regional varieties: Meunier, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay.
Bertrand Charton has placed environmental respect at the absolute center of his vineyard work. Following a strict, demanding transition period launched in 2018, the estate officially achieved its Organic Agriculture certification (AB) in March 2024. It also proudly holds the labels High Environmental Value (HVE) and Sustainable Viticulture in Champagne (VDC).
Vintage 2015
From Mery Premecy
An Exceptional 10-Year Aged Gastronomic Vintage
The poetic cuvée “Les souvenirs me reviennent” (meaning "Memories come back to me") is the flagship and only vintage champagne crafted by the independent family estate Champagne Bertrand Charton, located in Méry-Prémecy at the crossroads of the Montagne de Reims and the Vallée de l'Ardre.
Robe: Deep, patinated gold with warm amber highlights, animated by a persistent stream of superlatively fine bubbles that bear witness to its decade of cellar aging.
Nose: Deeply complex, mature, and alluring. It reveals noble aromas of candied fruits, dried nuts, warm buttery brioche, and delicate hints of honey and roasted coffee beans—all classic markers of an extended maturation on the laths.
.
Palate: The entry is enveloping, rich, and vinous. Thanks to the 10 years of cellar rest, the effervescence delivers a remarkably creamy texture. The mid-palate unfolds with substantial weight, weightiness, and structure, held together by a vibrant underlying thread of freshness that extends into a long, persistent pastry-like finish.
-
Blend: 33% Meunier, 33% Pinot noir and 33% Chardonnay
-
Aging: 10 years
-
Dosage: 8,8 gr/L
-
Aging potential: 10 more years
As the estate beautifully notes, this cuvée is crafted to "live in the present moment" and accompany unhurried conversations. It is a world-class gastronomic champagne built for fine dining and holiday tables. It pairs exquisitely with:
-
A traditional capon or Bresse chicken cooked with morels and heavy cream.
-
A luxurious, creamy white truffle risotto.
-
Pan-seared sweetbreads (ris de veau) or noble white fish in rich reduction sauces.
-
Long-aged hard cheeses, such as an old Comté.

6 bottles of Michel Fagot 2009
Vintage 2009
From Rilly la Montagne - Premier cru
This vintage champagne has undergone 15 years of cellar aging before release, allowing it to develop beautiful complexity.
Eye : A deep, intense golden color with brilliant, warm amber highlights. This rich gold tint is a direct result of its extensive cellar maturation and the perfect ripeness of the 2009 grapes
Nose : Highly aromatic and complex, opening with the crispness of Chardonnay and evolving into indulgent notes of toasted almonds, warm madeleine cake, and rich caramel.
Palate : Deep and structured. The Chardonnay provides a backbone of delicate freshness while the Pinot Noir brings structural weight, vinous texture, and a long, warm, buttery finish
-
Blend: 50% Chardonnay 50% Pinot Noir
-
Aging: 15 years
-
Dosage: 5,6 gr/L
-
Aging potential: 15 more years.
Because this Extra-Brut bottle has aged for 15 years, it features a complex, rich profile of toasted almond, warm pastry, and caramel.
-
The Perfect Match: French chicken supreme with a cream and mushroom sauce (suprême de volaille aux champignons). The champagne's creamy autolytic (pastry) notes effortlessly match the richness of the cream, while its crisp, structural acidity slices through the density of the meat.
-
Alternative Savory Pairing: Veal chops cooked with chanterelle mushrooms, or a rich wild mushroom risotto.
-
Sweet Pairing (Gourmet Treat): The house officially recommends pairing it with artisanal Isigny chocolate caramels for a festive or late-night tasting experience.
