The marine fossils, which also give its name to this interesting Champagne Brut Maison MG HEUCQ are a distinctive feature of the soil on which the company grows the vines for this cuvée. Let's start with the blend. Meunier 50%, Chardonnay 30% and the rest Pinot Noir. Fruity notes in clear evidence, then. Precisely because of the predominance of Meunier in the blend. But also elegance and a good predisposition to aging, thanks to the Chardonnay. And that bit of character that comes from the Pinot Noir. But that's not enough. Part of the base wines, in fact, are aged in barriques, to give greater complexity to the final result. Sixty percent of the grapes come from the 2016 harvest while the remainder is divided between reserve wines from 2015 and 2014. Last note, maturation on the lees, which in this case lasts for 36 months. A very interesting Champagne. An ideal wine to be brought to the table and to accompany fish or white meat dishes.
A good Champagne story. In the sense of the geographical area. MG HEUCQ is a beautiful story of a family, and of a great passion for their work and for their territory. The long journey begins with the grandparents of the current owners, Robert and Paulette. Thanks to the land they inherited, they began to work bravely the vineyards, investing all their savings to expand the boundaries of their business. Like many small producers in Champagne, they then rely on the cooperative to start selling their wine. In 1979 a new generation took over, represented by Francois and Vèronique, who inherited part of the farm, continuing the work started by their parents but above all guiding the conversion: from simple producers of grapes to be given to the cooperative, to "rècoltant-manipulant", i.e. producers of wine on their own. And so we reach 2019, when it is the turn of Guillaume and Mèlody to receive the 5 hectares of vineyards as a gift and, with the typical passion of young people, to start their own path, respecting what has been done so far but with the desire to innovate and give life to new projects. Starting with the creation of the new MG HEUCQ brand. But the good surprises, we are sure, will not end there.
