Prestige cuvée from one of Champagne's great grower families. The Chiquet family has grown grapes here since 1746, with winemaking beginning in 1911 and the Gaston Chiquet brand established in 1935. Now in its 8th generation. This Special Club bottling—70% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir—comes from Premier and Grand Cru sites across Aÿ, Dizy, Hautvillers, and Mareuil-sur-Aÿ. Minimum 3 years on lees with 60+ months total aging. Each cuvée must pass multiple tastings to earn the Special Club designation. No oak aging—winemaker Nicolas Chiquet favors purity and fruit expression.
