That's the size of grin that spread over Jess' face when she unpacked these bottles from their box. While this is a hot take, I [Jess] find that Champagne over $100 just doesn't tend to impress me more than Champagne at $80... except Jérôme's. He is part of a small but powerful coalition of tiny producers making intense, terroir-transparent Champagnes. Rather than follow the traditional Champagne model of blending grapes, vintages, and vineyards to produce a \"standardized\" product, Jérôme and his fellow \"Champagne Renegades\" produce terroir-specific bottlings primarily dedicated to one grape and one vintage. This Champagne comes from a two hectare parcel known as Les Béguines which he inherited from his grandmother, who grew up on the same road in the Montagne de Reims village of Gueux. While a single vintage dominates, Jérôme tends to blend in 10-15% reserve wines.
