Champagne, FranceThe grower house Ployez-Jacquemart is now just under 100 years old since its founding in 1930 by Marcel Ployez and his wife, Yvonne Jacquemart. All the fruit comes from and is made by the estate. The Extra Quality Brut is a dry 5 g/L bubble, blending 60/15/25 pinot meunier, pinot noir, and chardonnay selected from Premier and Grands Crus villages only that spends 48 months in the cellars at Aÿ. Expect an understated, subtle, dry champagne with a creamy texture and a stream of pure fruity, chalky, mineral, and lees flavour with a honeyed, toasted almond undercurrent. A gastronomic champagne that is ready to drink but best with small bites of food.Tasted: 01 November 2024Tasted by: Prices:

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. Ready to go.Tasted: 19 October 2023Tasted by: Prices:
