Paul Goerg is a leading independent Champagne house, as this Premier Cru testifies. Singled out by the Guide Hachette, it was voted top Champagne out of 100 tasted - rated above vintage Veuve Clicquot and equal to Krug. Goerg is named after a respected 19th-century mayor of Vertus, located in the famous Côte des Blancs. Here, Chardonnay is king and an impressive 85% of it is classified as Premier Cru. The elegance, finesse and purity of this variety (which accounts for just 28% of vines in Champagne) is the hallmark of the Paul Goerg style. The chalky soils of Vertus lend a rich, yet refreshingly mineral quality to this wine while three years' ageing adds considerably to the wine's complexity. Superb for celebrations and lovely with oysters
