Unique is true to its name. This champagne exhibits very evolved notes. It’s delicious, it shows this huge breath of “autolytic notes”. Cooked apple, brioche, toasted notes, so good. A crowed pleaser. Again, delicious and unique, a great value from juice that’s at least a decade old.

45% Pinot Meunier, 30% Chardonnay and 25% Pinot Noir 60% of Unique comes from a 2014 vintage base wine, while the remainder is from their single 50hl “solera” foudre, with 4g/L dosage.

Champagne Pascal Mazet

Catherine and Pascal Mazet established their domaine in 1981 with 2.5 hectares from her side of the family—enviable holdings in premier cru land on the Montagne de Reims communes Chigny-les-Roses and Ludes, and a grand cru parcel in Ambonnay. 

At age of twenty-seven, Olivier Mazet took full control in 2018. Olivier’s long view is focused on agroforestry to improve biodiversity in and around the vineyards to help their resilience against disease, improve soil structures by letting nature do a lot of the work.

Certified organic since 2009, this family house is distinguished by the care taken in the aging of its wines. It combines vinification in oak barrels with a minimum aging of 5 years for each of the cuvées. The result is simply splendid organic grower champagne.
