Champagne Michel Turgy Description
Quietly in the shadows of the larger houses in the Côte de Blancs, vinegrowing Champagne artisans like Jean-Michel Turgy are crafting characterrich wines based on the traditions of past winemaking generations. Turgy sets himself apart with wines that do more than just reflect the Mesnil style—sumptuous, sensual and richly flavored—but faithfully capture the true character of the region’s unparalleled terroir, a vibrant personality often muted by mass-producing Champagne houses. For more than 130 years, the Turgy family has grown Chardonnay grapes on these chalky soils, and because of this, they can certainly claim to be more than acquainted with the true soul and substance of Mesnil.
Tasting Note: Aromas of gardenia, honeysuckle, brioche. Flavors of lemon curd, sea salt, toast. Fine-grained and savory
Vinous: 91 Points
Light yellow. Intensely perfumed aromas of poached pear, tangerine, candied fig and white flowers, with an piquant spicy element adding vivacity. Smooth, sweet and expansive on the palate, offering powerful orchard and pit fruit flavors and a touch of smokiness. The broad finish features excellent clarity and building spiciness.
Wine Advocate: 90 Points
The latest release of the NV Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Réserve Sélection exhibits aromas of crisp green apple, dried white flowers, hazelnuts and pastry cream. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, elegantly textural and racy, with chewy extract, tangy acids and a delicate, pinpoint mousse, concluding with a chalky finish. It's a precise, flavorful blanc de blancs that's already showing well.
