Champagne Cordeuil Père et Fille Brut Chardonnay

Located in Noé les Mallets in the Côte des Bars, the region of Champagne closest to Burgundy, their 4.6 hectares are cared for lovingly through organic practices, producing natural terroir expressive wines. Founded in 1950 by Gilbert Cordeuil and now his daughter Erlande, the third generation winemaking continues as a vigneronne. Side note she was adopted at the young age of 2 and had planned on pursuing her career as an aid worker but the work of the vine also called her name. She continues her efforts for non-profit whenever possible.

Their philosophy in the cellar is long ageing because beautiful champagne takes time and patience to develop, this lovely brut is 100% Chardonnay from the 2010 and 2011 harvests aged for 8 years sur lie.  Small production of 2,000 bottles made. An Iola Wines EXCLUSIVE
