In this episode of the No Sediment Wine Podcast, I sat down with Alexandre Chartogne, the winemaker behind the cult Champagne - Chartogne-Taillet. We discussed grower Champagne (also known as artisanal Champagne), Alexandre's approach to viticulture and winemaking in Champagne production, the Meunier grape variety, and other exciting topics.
