Alexandre Filaine, a native to the Montagne de Reims, works his vines all organically-- a true challenge, within the finicky region of Champagne, creating complex wines, which are all hand riddled and hand disgorged, with dosage also fait a la main. ‘Cuvée Speciale’ is Pinot Noir dominant, showing powerful notes of citrus, baked bread, and earthy minerality; elegant, bone dry, and well-integrated.
