From  54% 2004 and 46% from vintages 2003, 2002, 2001-1999-1994, 93% Chardonnay, 7% Pinot Noir, 7g/l R.S.- this had a moderate nose of quince, earth, violets, flowers, and lemon tarts. Medium body, high complexity and acidity, the nose showed baked bread, pear, baked apple, light citrus and wet stones. 90pts.

Located within the Montagne de Reims these wines are produced by Arnaud Margaie from the Premier Cru site of Villers-Marmery, Chardonnay planted within Pinot country on clay-limestone soils.  4,600 cases are produced annually from vines planted to 90% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir. The Montagne de Reims is a horseshoe shaped area with a variety of expositions, made up of soils of Cretaceous chalk with mixtures of clay and sand.  The village is planted to 56% Pinot noir, 28% Chardonnay and 16% Meunier.

Again probably not from the same lot you tasted but this wine was recently promoted to our house NV champagne. This one rates on the "local availability" scale and with a discount under $35. Unfortunately lately I haven't found any Champagnes under $30 that would drink on a regular basis.


Updated:  I realized that I was commenting on the other Margaine NV wine.
