A rare best buy for grower Champagne, this was a producer we were turned on to by a good friend of ours in France. Brisson Layhaye is a small house based in the Grand Cru village of Tours-sur-Marne, and the Champagnes here never make it outside of Europe. It is a family-owned champagne house with vineyards spanning approximately 4 hectares. While small, the vineyards are located on many different terroirs, stating that Tours Sur Marne is a crossroads of Champagne with many influences. The family has been using Biodynamic practices since 2012. L'Immuable comes from some of the House's Premier Cru Pinot Noir (40%) and Chardonnay (60%) vineyards planted on clay and limestone and is vinified in stainless steel tanks with natural yeasts and finished with a 6-gram dosage. Very elegant with lovely floral notes and and slowly starts to become more complex with different citrus, orchard fruits, and a beautiful mineral profile. Its elegance is echoed on the palate and shows excellent salinity with perfect richness and acidity. This starts to develop more honey and buttered notes with time in the bottle, but in its youth, it is fresh and vibrant. It's an impressive bottle at this pricing and one of the few under-the-radar addresses left in Champagne. These are currently the only bottles available in the USA, and at this pricing, it's one of the top buys for the category!
