Tried it last night. A champagne with real class. Well packaged, arrived without a scratch. It really exceeded my expectations.

Aromatic profile
The structure of this champagne
Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
The absence of malolactic fermentation and an Extra Brut dosage of 1.5 g/L preserve a lively, mineral tension.
Roundness
Ageing in barrels from the Forêt de Verzy and 600-litre demi-muids lends a velvety roundness without weighing down the wine.
Power
Pure Pinot Noir from Verzenay Grand Cru delivers a dense, concentrated structure, typical of the sun-drenched 2015 vintage.
Length
Over 60 months on lees yield a persistent finish with accents of stone fruit and chalk.
TASTING NOTES

2g/LDosage
100%Pinot Noir
Terroirs
Sourced from the lieu-dit Les Perthois in Verzenay, a Grand Cru village on the Montagne de Reims with deep chalky soils. 100% Pinot Noir vinified without malolactic fermentation, aged in barrels from the Forêt de Verzy and 600-litre demi-muids; a confidential production of 3,500 bottles.
About this house
Champagne Péhu Simonet is a family domaine in Verzenay, at the heart of the Montagne de Reims, whose Grand Cru vines are farmed with a plot-by-plot rigour inherited across several generations. The house has established itself as a benchmark for characterful Blanc de Noirs, driven by long ageing in local barrels and a no-malolactic approach that preserves the natural tension of Pinot Noir.
The 'Fins Lieux' range is the fullest expression of this philosophy: each cuvée captures the singularity of a single lieu-dit, vinified separately in a spirit close to Burgundy. A demanding, artisanal approach that has made Péhu Simonet one of the most sought-after growers in the appellation.

The perfect pairing
Between the champagne and its dish
Aperitif
Les gougères au comté répondent avec élégance au Pinot Noir tendu et minéral de cette cuvée Extra Brut.
Starter
Le gravlax de saumon aux agrumes et herbes fraîches s'accorde à la vivacité et aux notes fruitées du Blanc de Noirs.
Main course
La puissance du Pinot Noir Grand Cru épouse harmonieusement un filet de bœuf aux cèpes, où terroir et umami se répondent.
