Producer: Champagne Philippe Glavier Vintage: NV Size: 500ml Varietal: Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir Country/Region: France, Champagne Producer Information Philippe Glavier may be one of the smallest producers in the Côte des Blancs, but size does not diminish value or quality. His are poignant, driven and super-classy blancs de blancs – mini-masterpieces – in a style not dissimilar to the precision and purity seen in Pierre Gimonnet. I should have travelled to Champagne in April, but the world had other ideas. It would have been a week-long immersion in a stream of tastings and festivities organised by various winegrowing groups, known as Le Printemps des Champagnes. Philippe and Véronique Glavier would have been there. Instead, I organised a virtual ‘walk’ through their cuvérie and one-on-one chat with Véronique over Zoom one evening. She is the wife, co-owner and public arm of Champagne Philippe Glavier, named after her husband, a third-generation vigneron from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger in Champagne’s ‘white hillside’, the Côte des Blancs. Véronique comes from neighbouring Cramant, representing thirteen generations of winegrowing. “I never wanted to marry a grower – ever!” smiles Véronique who first met Philippe in 1993 on a ski trip. It’s a story that is not uncommon between winegrowing families in Champagne where love often befalls a chance to build or extend small domaines with preciously inherited vineyards. With little money to speak of, Philippe begged and borrowed to get by until finding his feet. Véronique’s father was one of the most generous, granting Philippe access to his press at night without charge, once he had completed his daily harvest work. The arrangement became his rhythm for years and an opportunity to cut his teeth on something real beyond the tomes of theory absorbed at the Lycée d’Avize. It gave rise to the formation of his own label – Champagne Philippe Glavier – in 1995, and money soon followed. Enough was scraped together to buy a press, “the smallest in Champagne”, muses Véronique, with a capacity of just 2000kg, but at least it could fit into her parent’s garage. Convenient, yes, but it also suited their tiny production of just 4.6 hectares spread across 52 parcels. Small press, big results. Glavier’s champagnes speak loudly of their grand cru origins, imbued with the glory of chardonnay’s chalky freshness and fine finesse. All cuvées are blanc de blancs, with the exception of their rosé for which they source...
