Fans of rich and refined bubbly will find much to love in the appealing 91 pt. NV Champagne Jeeper Grand Assemblage Brut, a small production, boutique Champagne offering fresh, bright flavors with lively acidity on a fine-beaded, creamy mousse, crafted in a “vibrant and super drinkable style” according to James Suckling at a fraction of the region’s big name cuvees.
Named by a wounded French forces member for the Jeep he received as a gift for his service during World War II, Champagne Jeeper has been owned by Nicolas and Myriam Dubois since 2009, their 50-50 partnership with entrepreneur Michel Reybier, owner of Bordeaux’s legendary Cos D’Estournel, fueling the estate’s steady rise in quality over the last decade. Located in Faverolles et Coemy northwest of the city Reims in Champagne, Jeeper sources its Champagne from fifty sustainably farmed hectares of estate vineyards planted in the Montagne de Reims, Cote des Blancs and Marne Valley, the Grand Assemblage created as a harmonious expression of its diverse terroir. Boasting one of the largest barrel rooms behind Krug and Bollinger, Jeeper forgoes the use of stainless steel and ages exclusively in oak, allowing 20% of the Chardonnay blended into the Grand Assemblage to mature for two years in used Burgundy barrels before bottling to enhance complexity. A non vintage blend of 60% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Noir and 15% Pinot Meunier, the impressive 91 pt. NV Champagne Jeeper Grand Assemblage Brut spent an additional four years in bottle on the lees, yielding a “bright and refined Champagne” according to the Wine Spectator’s Alison Napjus crafted in “a richer style,” with well-balanced acidity and a persistent, creamy mousse, equally delicious as an aperitif or when paired with food.
Described by the Wine Enthusiast’s Roger Voss as balancing “richness with the more mineral texture of Chardonnay,” the alluring 91 pt. NV Champagne Jeeper Grand Assemblage Brut boasts that perfect combination of bright fruit flavors and fresh acidity buoyed on a steady stream of bubbles that begs for another sip, an incredibly delicious bubbly well priced for Champagne lovers to enjoy often. |
