Domaine de la Taille aux Loups (Jacky Blot) Triple Zero NV agrapart a corner of the region

a corner of the region that had vastly more vineyard a century ago before phylloxera and the textile mills of Biella emptied the hills

Michel Ampeau (Robert's son) now runs the domaine on this unhurried timeline

and on its patches of heavy clay — genuinely rare in Champagne — his Pinot Noir takes on shocking breadth and richness

and made with the confidence to leave the wine mostly alone
