He and his wife, Séverine, share a passion for horticulture that directly informs their viticulture. “We grow the vineyard like a garden,” Yann explains. This is a high bar for two farmers working 6.3 hectares spread over 28 plots in nine villages. But is also essential to their philosophy: “I always try to put forward the characteristics of each plot of land and to reach perfect grape maturity and health.” Vitality is achieved through intensive hand work and regenerative practices to which the Alexandres have been dedicated since 1999. Swaths of bright yellow in the family vineyards signal the restorative impact of this approach: the region’s once ubiquitous tulipe de vigne was eradicated by intensive chemical farming; Yann and Séverine have nurtured the soils back to such health, the delicate flower has returned. As throughout the Petite Montagne, pinot meunier is the star, supported by pinot noir and chardonnay, the grapes matched to soils of calcareous clay, white marls, stones, and flint. Yann declares his aim is “as natural a Champagne as possible,” made from vital grapes, with minimal added sulfites, up to seven years lees aging, hand riddling and disgorgement, and “no detail left to chance.”\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-01-11T11:33:58-05:00","created_at":"2023-01-09T07:30:51-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_France","MK0801","other_french wine","Other_Wine","Producer_Yann Alexandre","Region_Champagne","Source_Bestofwines1222","Type_Sparkling Wine","Varietal_Chardonnay"],"price":29999,"price_min":29999,"price_max":29999,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42671358607498,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2013 | Yann Alexandre | Blanc de Blancs","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":29999,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/26_d00d1114-6ae9-4abc-a848-61f3b510f51c.png?v=1673267571"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/26_d00d1114-6ae9-4abc-a848-61f3b510f51c.png?v=1673267571","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2013 | Yann Alexandre | Blanc de Blancs at CaskCartel.com","id":23935163334794,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.389,"height":1302,"width":507,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/26_d00d1114-6ae9-4abc-a848-61f3b510f51c.png?v=1673267571"},"aspect_ratio":0.389,"height":1302,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/26_d00d1114-6ae9-4abc-a848-61f3b510f51c.png?v=1673267571","width":507}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eSparkling Wine: 2013 | Yann Alexandre | Blanc de Blancs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder from the Largest \u0026amp; Most Trusted Premium Spirits Marketplace! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatured in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROLLING STONE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMEN'S JOURNAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUS WEEKLY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTICE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Many other small liquor store sites may end up cancelling your order due to the high demand, unavailability or inaccurate inventory counts.  We have partnerships consisting of a large network of licensed retailers from within the United States, Europe and across the world ensuring orders are fulfilled.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e Yann Alexandre\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVintage: \u003c\/b\u003e2013\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Chardonnay\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\/Region:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e France, Champagne\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eProducer Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\nYann Alexandre is the eighth generation of his family to grow vines in the Petite Montagne de Reims, the third to make Champagne there.
