{"product_id":"jacques-and-emmanuel-lassaigne-millesime-2017","title":"Jacques and Emmanuel Lassaigne Millesime 2017","description":"\u003cp\u003eEmmanuel Lassaigne is one of Champagne's most thoughtful and exciting grower producers, working with the chalky south and southeast-facing sloped vineyards of Montgueux in the Aube department. Lassaigne's extraordinary Champagnes are pushing the qualitative boundaries not just of the Aube but of the entire region. Farming in his vineyards is organic with cultivated soils and harvesting at full maturity. In the cellar, the wines ferment in wood and stainless steel, and they're disgorged by hand without dosage. The style is powerful and vinous but also racy and electric.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile some champagne houses release a vintage cuvée only when conditions are what they deem best, Emmanuel makes a vintage cuvée every single year, to display the variation each year brings to the wines. He says the results often surprise even him, certain vintages he thought the wine was lackluster, but when he revisits that wine several years down the road he discovers the wine just needed time to come into its own and is in fact one of his favorites. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAge of Vines: 40+ Years\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYields: 60 hl\/ha\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePruning Method: Guyot\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoil: Heavy clay and chalk\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVarieties: Chardonnay\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVinification notes: This wine is a blend of 2 or 3 parcels (not always the same parcels).
