2005 Saint Chamant Champagne Brut
Blanc de Blancs $450 6pack
Christian Coquillette has run his family’s house of Champagne Saint-Chamant since 1950. The house was originally established in 1930 by his mother and father, but was not automatically passed down to Christian. In the Coquillette family, each generation of winemakers must prove themselves independently. Christian worked hands-on in his parents’ operations, and eventually took his family’s bottles to Paris to be judged in a competition. After they won the gold medal, it was time for him to move on to his own house. He returned years later to take the helm for the family.
From the outside, the Champagne Saint-Chamant operation looks unassuming, but underneath it is an extensive labyrinth of cellars, over a mile long and packed to the brim with Champagne bottles, that date back to the early 16th century. An ardent believer in aging Champagne and in completing every part of the process by hand, it is in these cellars that Christian Coquillette keeps watch over hundreds of thousands of bottles.
A Year in Champagne is the second film in a remarkable wine trilogy, following the award-winning documentary A Year in Burgundy. Visit the site here!
