Yves Jacques 2016 Champagne Brut Millésimé "Anamnesis"

The Wine

This biscuity, Chardonnay-driven champagne - Cuvee Anamnesis - is a clever option for any customer hoping to explore the gilded flavor profile of Krug without sending half their paycheck to a big multinational conglomerate like LVMH!

The Winery

Domaine Yves-Jacques has been farming grapes for a century in Baye, in the heart of the Coteaux du Petit Morin, an extension of the Côte des Blancs just west of Vertus.

Over the past 9 decades, the estate has expanded to reach 40+ acres in the Côte des Blancs, the Marne Valley, and also a few micro parcels in Grand Crus Aÿ and Chouilly - and even one small parcel of 100 y/o vines in the Aube!

Vineyards are planted in roughly equal percentages of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Certified VDC and HVE and currently in conversion to organics.
