BKWine Pick: Champagne Turgy, Mesnil-sur-Oger

Champagne Turgy, Mesnil-sur-Oger

Catherine and Jean-Michel Turgy have 6 ha, all planted with chardonnay. The property is in the small village Mesnil-sur-Oger, in the middle of the Côte des Blancs district, known for its high quality chardonnay grapes. It was founded in 1881 and Jean-Michel took over after his father Michel some 15 years ago. Jean-Michel pays a lot of attention to detail, both in the vineyard and in the winery. The style is creamy and quite full-bodied champagnes with very little dosage (sugar). Try his Brut for example, an excellent and affordable champagne.
