Philippe Glavier is a small, quality-focused grower-producer in the Grand Cru village of Cramant — one of the Côte des Blancs' most celebrated addresses, whose chalky soils produce Chardonnay of extraordinary mineral intensity and finesse. Glavier farms his vineyards with meticulous care, harvesting by hand and vinifying with minimal intervention to allow the extraordinary terroir of Cramant to speak with absolute clarity. His wines have earned a devoted following among grower Champagne enthusiasts who recognize in them a purity, precision, and mineral depth that is uniquely expressive of this exceptional Grand Cru site.
The 'La Grâce d'Alphaël' is Glavier's prestige cuvée — a 100% Chardonnay Grand Cru Extra Brut from the estate's finest Cramant parcels, made without dosage to let the wine's pure terroir character speak without compromise. Pale gold with a fine, persistent bead, the nose is elegant and complex: fresh lemon, green apple, and white peach layered with brioche, toasted almond, and a deep, chalky minerality that is the unmistakable signature of great Cramant Chardonnay. On the palate, the wine is taut and precise, with electric acidity, a creamy texture, and a finish of extraordinary length and mineral purity that lingers long after the glass is empty.
The Philippe Glavier La Grâce d'Alphaël Grand Cru Extra Brut NV is exceptional alongside fresh oysters, lobster, or delicate seafood preparations — a grower Champagne of genuine Grand Cru pedigree and one of Cramant's most compelling expressions of Blanc de Blancs.
