The family traces its wine growing to 1790 and is well-known for growing ancient grape varieties still permitted in the Champagne AOC. Aubry’s wines are original and individual, representing flavors that fall outside the typical profile of Champagne.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWinemakers\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003ePhilippe and Pierre Aubry\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrape \/ Blend\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e31% Chardonnay, 31% Pinot Noir, 31% Meunier, 7% Arbanne, Petit Meslier and Fromenteau\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cu style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eChampagne, France\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes \u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAubry makes a great case for Champagne’s historic varieties, which include little-known Petit Meslier,\u003cbr\u003eArbanne, and Fromenteau. These grapes make up just five percent of the classic blend of Pinots Meunier and Noir with Chardonnay. This elegant wine is copper-laden and snappy with mineraled classic depth, light floral honey aromas, and dark notes of crackers, toasted bread, and pepper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92 Points - James Suckling\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eA smooth, gently round and nicely balanced Champagne dominant in pinot meunier, pinot noir and chardonnay to boot.
