2011 Vollereaux Cuvee Marguerite Brut Millesime Champagne

Champagne Vollereaux is synonymous with celebration, joy, and cheerfulness. Crafted by the Vollereaux family, whose winemaking expertise spans six generations, this exquisite champagne brings a fresh, light, and elegant profile to any event.

The Vollereaux story begins in 1805 in the heart of the Champagne region, Pierre et Moussy. For over a century, the Vollereaux family has tended to their vineyards with unwavering dedication. The turning point came after the Great War, when Victor Vollereaux revitalized the vineyards and, in 1923, produced the family's first champagne. What started as a private delight among friends and family soon gained admiration and a loyal customer base.

Today, the Vollereaux estate spans nearly 100 acres across the picturesque Coteaux Sud of Épernay and the Marne Valley. The vineyards, including the prestigious Premier Cru in Pierry, benefit from optimal sun exposure and rich clay-limestone soil. The mix of 50% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir, and 20% Meunier varietals ensures a balanced and expressive wine.

Led by Franck Vollereaux, with invaluable contributions from his sister Hélène and uncle Jean-Marie, the Vollereaux family continues to honor their ancestors' legacy. Their approach combines tradition with modernity, employing both traditional and modern presses during the harvest to preserve the unique characteristics of their terroirs.

75% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Noir. The robe, with green reflections and adorned with fine bubbles forming a thin collar of dazzling whiteness, suggests an elegant champagne of great finesse. The initial nose reveals aromas of lime, fine floral notes of honeysuckle and acacia, and exotic fruit, all framed by a subtle mineral quality that highlights its elegance. On the palate, the effervescence enhances a fresh and soft texture, with vivacity balancing the racy maturity expressed through smoky and vanilla notes. The Cuvée Marguerite epitomizes elegance and great finesse.

This ripe Champagne is dominated by crisp Chardonnay. It is poised with fine fruits tht progress into a mineral, steely texture, with just a hint of nuttiness. Drink from 2021. Roger Voss~93 Wine Enthusiast

Light golden colour with fine young bubbles. Pure nose with elegant fruit like pear, peach, ripe lemon and some creamy butter, yeast notes. A rather full palate, well-balanced proportions with a fresh backbone, creamy mid palate, crisp stone fruit and an approaching complexity leading to a long finish. ~91 Andreas Larsson, Tasted.com
