Today they farm 40ha, mostly around Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, arguably the most important Grand Cru village of the Côte des Blancs. For his latest project, Marco and his Champagne-obsessed pal Raj Parr have isolated the best fruit in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger – a chalk-rich terroir famed for sublime bottles such as Salon 'Le Mesnil', Krug 'Clos du Mesnil', and Pierre Peters's 'Les Chétillons' – to create 'Les Hautes Mottes'. Spending 60 months on the lees, it is akin to white Burgundy with bubbles and crackles with vibrant energy. Crafted from old-vine Chardonnay and bottled with zero dosage, allowing the purity of the vineyard to take centre stage. The warm, generous 2018 vintage is beautifully balanced by Le Mesnil's signature tension, revealing aromas of lemon, green apple, white peach, acacia blossom, oyster shell, and crushed chalk, layered with subtle notes of toasted brioche and roasted hazelnut from extended lees aging. The palate is vibrant and focused, with crystalline acidity, and an intensely mineral backbone that drives a long, saline finish. This is an age-worthy champagne that as it warms and slowly loses bubbles, miraculously resembles a grand cru white Burgundy. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"La Fromagerie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59295108170102,"sku":null,"price":134.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/3018\/0898\/files\/MICHELGONETMARCOPELLETIERLESHAUTESMOTTESBLANCSDESBLANCS2018-added9November2026.jpg?v=1794235934","url":"https:\/\/lafromagerie.co.uk\/products\/les-hautes-mottes-blancs-des-blancs-2018","provider":"La Fromagerie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
