100% Pinot Meunier, disgorged March 2020. With an elevation of 135 meters/443 feet above sea level and a moderately steep slope of 14 percent, this 0.382 hectare/0.94 acre vineyard was first planted in 1968. Les Alouettes (“The Larks’) has a southeast exposure and is located in the township of Charly-sur-Marne.

“The 2017 Brut Nature Les Alouettes (Magnum) is the most potent and tightly wound of these three Champagnes from Christophe Baron. It offers up a beguiling mix of graphite, orange confit, dried flowers, earthiness, chamomile and spice, all in a dense, inward style that demands cellaring. The Alouttes shows the more earthy, savory side of Meunier. Disgorged: May, 2021.” - Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 95pts.
