Last October we hosted an exclusive store tasting with Champagne producer, Laurence Ployez, of Ployez-Jacquemart. From the first sip of her Extra Brut Quality NV I was mesmerized. And then on to the Extra Brut Rose NV, the "Passion", the 2003 and 2004 vintage Champagnes, and finally to the tete de cuvee D'Harbonville--the revelation never stopped. What a stunning range of Champagnes!
Ployez-Jacquemart is based in the Montagne de Reims with vineyards in Ludes and Mailly. This region is known for Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier-based Champagnes but Ployez also sources Chardonnay from the Côtes des Blancs both for blending and for making their magnificent Blanc de Blancs. I'm in awe of Ployez Champagnes for their delicacy and balance, intensity and depth, and unfailing finesse and elegance. Certainly not the least reason to love these Champagnes is they are some of the best buys (if not outright the best buys) in the market today.
Champagne Extra Brut, Ployez-Jacquemart NV $43.00
Champagne Extra Brut Rosé, Ployez-Jacquemart NV $49.00
Champagne Extra Brut "Passion", Ployez-Jacquemart NV 49.00
