Perseval-Farge
Isabelle and Benoist are the unassuming yet passionate people of Perseval-Farge, fifth generation of a domaine created in 1808, while their son, Hugo, is slowly taking over. The domaine is located in Chamery, a Premier Cru village in the Montagne de Reims.
​
They produce about 30,000 bottles a year and own 4 hectares of vineyards, planted to Pinot Noir (40%), Chardonnay (35%), Meunier (15%), and a small portion of old vines of the ancestral, less frequently encountered approved varieties—Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Arbanne, and Petit Meslier.
​
The range of wines is quite impressive, and from the basic NV to the prestige cuvée, most of them show the PF signature of richness and a pleasant hint of oxidation. Almost every non-vintage wine includes at least 40% of oak-aged reserve wines, with an aging time on lees of no less than 5 years, which adds a nice touch of maturity and gives the wine character.
