The 2019 Special Club from Nomine-Renard represents the pinnacle of this innovative young producer's achievements. As one of the newest members of the exclusive Special Club, they've quickly proven their worth with champagnes that combine traditional methods with modern sensibilities. Founded in 1971, Nominé-Renard is a proud member of Club Trésors de Champagne—an elite circle of growers dedicated to crafting the region’s most exceptional wines. Produced only in the finest vintages, the Special Club 2019 brings together 50% Chardonnay from Allemant and Villevenard, 37% Pinot Noir from Broyes, and 12.5% Meunier, all from sustainably farmed, 30-year-old vineyards rooted in limestone soils. Following gentle vinification and stabilization, the wine ages 60 months on its lees, developing depth and finesse. On the palate, it marries Chardonnay’s citrus and white-fleshed fruit with the red berry and dried fruit character of Pinot Noir, rounded by Meunier’s supple charm. Subtle layers of brioche, honey, and pastry lift the creamy richness, balanced by vibrant acidity and a whisper of minerality. Refined and expressive, this cuvée is a benchmark of terroir and time, pairing beautifully with elevated dishes such as Bresse chicken in cream sauce or other fine poultry-driven cuisine.
