Exceptional bottle of one of the best champagne producers of this time. Something special. Very rare, musthave. CULT STATUS The champagnes of Aurélien Lurquin speak for themselves; they are the handiwork of a modest yet perfectionist man who pushes things to the absolute limit—a biodynamic limit, that is, devoid of the internet, telephones, or added sulfur. Out in the vineyard with his horse, he is the happiest man on earth. You can sense his focus when you taste his wines. Raw energy prevails. His wines strike you with full force, characterized by their density, purity, and vibrancy. Each cuvée is limited to just one or two barrels. His small-scale production has already earned him cult status. The contrast is striking: while large champagne houses may have hundreds of barrels lined up, Aurélien has only a dozen or so. He has recently expanded, growing from 1.8 to 2.5 hectares, yet he only releases 20%—about 3,000 bottles—under his own label, with the remainder sold to the trade. His goal is to retain the majority of the grapes he currently sells to Hervé Jestin and Leclerc Briant by next year. Until then, we will have to make do with a mere handful of his rare bottles. Shipping: (Only to EU-Countries) The bottles will be sealed with plastic film to ensure that the label will not get damaged, then it will be wrapped in bubble-wrap and shipped in a suitable cardboard box.
