The "Premier cru" Mareuil-sur-Aÿ region is renowned for its high-quality, vibrant champagnes, comparable to "Clos des Goisses" from "Philipponnat." The "Cuvée Mes Favorites" champagne combines plots that Jean-Paul Hébrart values most.
This elegant champagne reveals notes of green apple, pear, plum, and peach. The palate is dominated by minerality and citrus tones, complemented by buttery pastry accents. The finish is long-lasting and refreshing.
This champagne is made from 50-year-old "Pinot Noir" and "Chardonnay" vines grown in the Mareuil-sur-Aÿ 1er Cru region. The wine is aged on lees for 36 months.
The dosage is 5g/l.
Serves 8-10 °C with bruschetta with tomatoes and basil, chicken with lemon-butter sauce, tiramisu.
Jean-Paul Hébrart took over the management of the Champagne Marc Hébrart estate from his father, Marc Hébrart, in 1997. The estate is located in the Vallée de la Marne subregion of Champagne. Marc Hébrart began producing champagne under his own name in 1964. Today, the family owns 14 hectares of vineyards spread across 65 plots in six villages: 1er Cru vineyards in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, Avenay-Val-d'Or, and Bisseuil, as well as Grand Cru villages in Aÿ, Chouilly, and Oiry in the Côte des Blancs region.
The "Spécial Club Champagne" represents the highest classification level that grower-producers can achieve. Membership in this exclusive club requires strict adherence to rigorous quality standards, with an intensive, multi-stage inspection process that begins each year in early February. Marc Hébrart has been a member of Club Trésors de Champagne, also known as "Spécial Club," since 1985.

Aging and Consumption Period
Jean-Paul Hébrart Champagnes are perfectly balanced and enjoyable to drink immediately, while also having the potential to age and develop beautifully over time. For example, "Spécial Club" Champagnes are aged for 36 months before release, adding extra complexity and depth.
