Champagne Guy Charlemagne

Côte des BlancsLe Mesnil-sur-OgerRMRMRécoltant ManipulantA grower who makes champagne only from fruit grown on their own land. This is the grower-producer category, and the strictest in terms of sourcing.Founded 1892

Guy Charlemagne sits at 4 rue de la Brèche d'Oger in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, directly opposite Salon and a short walk from Krug's Clos du Mesnil — on the old ramparts of the upper town, where the family has pressed and aged its wine since 1892.

The house has kept its own pace through every vintage, and the cellar still works the way it always has: one press, one tank, one decision at a time.

Everything here is allowed to settle slowly. The wines rest longer than the market asks for, and the family tastes the whole range before anything leaves the cellar.

What follows is written from visits, from bottles opened too early and a few opened at exactly the right moment.

Across the street from Salon, a stone's throw from Krug's Clos du Mesnil — and two sisters now running five generations of old massal-selection Chardonnay.
