Tasting notes
Disgorged in October 2017 without dosage, Baron's 2014 Brut Nature Les Hautes Blanches Vignes offers up aromas of citrus oil, clear honey, crisp yellow apple and hints of sourdough bread. Medium to full-bodied, it's chiseled and incisive, with a sweet core of fruit, fine concentration and depth, racy acids and a chalky, mineral finish. 1613 magnums were produced.

The 2014 Brut Nature Les Hautes Blanches Vignes is the first wine I have tasted from Christophe Baron’s new project in Champagne, and it is magnificent. From a tiny parcel measuring just 0.6 hectares (1.48 acres), Les Hautes Blanches Vignes is 100% Pinot Meunier from vines planted in 1969 with a massale selection that was common at the time. Bright, focused and chiseled, the Hautes Blanches Vignes has a level of energy and tension that is simply unreal. Pure Meunier Champagnes have gained in popularity in recent years, but rarely have I seen this degree of focus and vibrancy. Moreover, I am just blown away by the wine’s textural elegance and persistence. All the elements come together in an extraordinary Champagne that drips with class.
