"The 2016 Brut Nature Les Alouettes (Magnum) is ample and broad, with a real sense of volume that grows over time. Layered and beautifully resonant, the Alouttes is also the most sensual and immediate of these wines. Even with all of its intensity, the Alouttes is translucent and so expressive, even in the early going. Spice, dried pear, flowers and nutty accents linger . . . . Christophe Baron is best known for his groundbreaking Washington wines, but his lineage lies deep in Champagne. Over the last few years Baron and his cousins have embarked on an ambitious project to highlight the essence of Meunier as grown in their family’s vineyards in the Marne Valley. There are now three Champagnes in the range, all bottled only in magnums, with zero dosage. These are towering, viscerally thrilling Champagnes that readers will absolutely want to explore."
