"Stored for 11 years on the lees, this 2011 ‘Blanc de Blancs’ has great autolytic character right now. Nutmeg drenched macadamia nut, salted sourdough bread and hints of candied ginger all combine on the palate. A glorious wine to enjoy now, watch this elegant and refined 2011 Champagne evolve over the next six to eight years."
Michel Foch Blanc de Blancs 2011 Late Disgorged is a testament to the extraordinary patience and precision behind great Champagne. Produced entirely from Chardonnay grown in the famed Montagne de Reims and Côte de Blancs, this wine hails from a vintage that demanded careful selection and rewarded long aging. Resting on its lees for over a decade, it has developed remarkable depth, texture, and grace. The late disgorgement reveals a Champagne of refined maturity—layered, expressive, and endlessly nuanced. This rare cuvée is crafted for those who understand that true elegance is often revealed with time.

Champagne vineyards are planted on limestone-rich soils, which enhance the wines’ signature minerality and freshness.

Cool climate ensures a long growing season, preserving the high acidity essential for fine sparkling wines.

Hand-harvesting is required to maintain grape quality for traditional production.

"Late disgorged" refers to a technique where we allow the wine to age for an extended period of time on the yeast, allowing the wine to retain freshness while continuing to take on the complexity of the yeast. Blanc de Blancs is revered for its ability to age for decades as the finesse of the wines are enhanced with long-term aging.

Our Late Disgorged Michel Foch Blanc de Blancs sees 13 years on the yeast, which has allowed it to develop alluring aromas of brioche, toasted almonds as well as a hint of toffee while retaining energy and hints of lime and green apple. The palate is flavorful and long with an elegant minerality and balance as the delicacy of the Chardonnay variety is juxtaposed against the richness derived through extended aging.

Vintage NotesThe 2011 vintage in Champagne was marked by an unusually warm spring followed by a cooler, unsettled summer, leading to an early and selective harvest. While conditions posed challenges, Chardonnay fared best—especially in the Côte des Blancs—producing Blanc de Blancs with lifted aromatics, delicate structure, and fresh acidity. These wines are elegant, nuanced, and best enjoyed for their finesse and early approachability.
