Champagne Ployez-Jacquemat Extra Quality Brut NV
Montagne de Reims, Champagne, FranceI'm not sure Extra Quality means much in Champenois parlance, but it gets folks talking. Ployez-Jacquemart is an RM, meaning all the fruit comes and is made by the estate, also known as grower champagne. The family house dates to 1930, when Marcel Ployez and his wife, Yvonne Jacquemart, founded the property. Today, Ployez-Jacquemart works its predominantly pinot noir and pinot meunier vineyards in the Premier and Grands Crus villages of Mailly Champagne and Ludes, in the Montagne de Reims. The styling is understated, the bubbles tiny, and the textures creamy with a fine sense of purity, complete with fruit, chalk, mineral, and lees.
