We hope Andre Heucq remains a local secret for a few more years because this is one of the finest $50 bubblies on the market. Now in its fourth generation, the House of Heucq specializes in Pinot Meunier alongside Chard and Pinot Noir, grown on 15 acres in Cuisles and Baslieux sous Chatillon within the greater Vallée de la Marne region. Heritage Assemblage is a blend of nearly equal parts Chardonnay, Meunier, and Pinot Noir aged 30% in barrels and 70% in steel—the second fermentation ages on the lees for 60 months before disgorgement. This Extra Brut is golden in color with dense ripe fruit, fresh bread, herb tea, Pear Tarte Tatin, and stone fruit.
