"Spécial Club Champagne" represents the highest classification tier achievable by Champagne growers. The Club's commitment to quality is stringent and demanding, with an exhaustive multi-layered inspection process beginning each year in early February. Marc Hébrart has been a proud member of the Club Trésors de Champagne, or "Spécial Club," since 1985.
This Champagne boasts an expressive aromatic palette: revealing nuances of cream, pastry, white flowers (lilac, lily), sour candies, and fresh fruits like peaches and apricots. The palate is well-balanced, rich, delicate, and very refreshing.
The "Pinot Noir" grapes come from the Mareuil-sur-Aÿ 1er Cru Vieilles Vignes (Faubourg D'enfer, Croix Blanche, Pruche, Haut de Varille) and Louvois Grand Cru (Le Mont, Les Hauts) vineyards. The "Chardonnay" is sourced from the Mareuil-sur-Aÿ 1er Cru Vieilles Vignes (Beauregard, Ramonette, Buisson Saint Loup, Clef) plots.
After malolactic fermentation, the Champagne is aged on its lees for 48 months.
Dosage: 6g/l.
Serve at 6-8 °C as an aperitif, with seafood, oysters, soft cheese plate.
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.

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.
