Here's an anomaly in the world of zero-dosage, 100% Pinot Noir Champagne: André Chemin's Little Dark Mountain is aromatic, user-friendly and generously round on the palate. The base wine goes through malolactic fermentation, there's a base of 57% perpetual reserve wine, and this cuvée was on the lees for 15 months. We've tasted scores of Champagnes over the years that claim to be "gourmet" and interchangeable with table wines, but this is the real deal!
