Champagne Philippe Fays - Belle Vendange 2015
La Belle Vendange 2015 is a champagne with character.
This cuvée is a blend of 2/3 Chardonnay and 1/3 Côte des Bar Pinot Noir.
The grapes come from two old clay-limestone plots in Celles-sur-Ource, "Val Lune" and "Val Champeignat".
Upon tasting, a brut dosage (8 g/l) gives balance to the tonic, full-bodied attack on the palate. Aging in the cellar for 5 to 6 years brings a fine aromatic maturity to this 2015 vintage.
A terroir vintage.

Champagne Philippe Fays
A journey into the southern Champagne region with this Côte des Bar winegrower.
The village of Celles-sur-Ource is home to Philippe Fays' vineyards, where he grows and turn into wine grape varieties so emblematic of his terroir. Among them, the Chardonnay, along with the region's emblematic Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc, an endemic variety that brings a distinctive touch to the blends.
What's the house style?
Malolactic fermentation on all cuvées, helping to soften the wine's natural acidity for softer, rounder aromas throughout tasting.
