We have recently become completely enamored of the incredible Grand Cru Champagnes from Ambonnay produced by Alain Soutiran,incredible
translations of some of la Champagne's greatest terroir seen through the precise lens of ancient hand tended vines resulting in flavors and textures you simply don't find in industrial fizz at thrice their modest prices. Well now, having bought literally hundreds of cases to offer you, we have finally talked M. Soutiran our of his greatest personal treasure: 20 Magnums (of only 100 produced) of
Coteaux Champenois Ambonnay Rouge "les Crupots", an amazing 100% Pinot Noir still Red blended from the best vintages from 1996 back to 1985! We enjoyed this with the winemaker at a swank French joint here recently and the integration between the depth of the older vintages and the freshness of the recent ones was completely seamless and verrrrrrry satisfying with the Loin of Rabbit and Chanterelle Rissoto.

Anyone else have any tasting experiences with actual Red Still wines from Champagne?
