Sourcing premium quality Champagne at exciting prices is one of the greatest challenges any wine buyer has. In Champagne Paul Goerg we think we have absolutely hit the jackpot! Eight quality conscious growers in the beautiful 1er Cru classified village of Vertus in the heart of the Côte de Blancs near Epernay have pooled their vineyards and resources together to create a premium quality 120 ha estate. The house is headed by Jean-Philippe Moulin formerly head winemaker at Champagne Ruinart.
The rolling chalk based hills of Vertus create a range of micro-climates which give a richness and variety of fruit to their Champagnes with extraordinary purity, and we have selected three different cuvées to highlight both the quality and breadth of style. The secret to their success is not only an outstanding source of fine fruit and skilful wine making, but equally importantly the correct amount of bottle aging before the wines are released to create roundness, harmony and fine balance. The two non-vintage cuvées have a minimum of three years sur lattes before release and the vintage cuvée is now a nine year old wine and absolutely at its peak.
