So what is Special Club Champagne? Officially called the Club de Trésors (Club of Treasures), this classification is the highest tier a Grower’s Champagne can achieve. This prestigious group was established in 1971 as the Club de Viticulteurs Champenois to showcase the finest terroir driven wines of the region in the best vintages. The group consists of just 28 artisanal producers today, a tiny segment of the nearly 5000 growers in Champagne. The selection process for this classification is rigorous.
A. Margaine Description
95 points Wine Independent
"Blanc de Blancs Special Club Premier Cru 2015 originates from several different Villers-Marmery plots; Allouettes, Grands Arbres and Champs d’Enfer. 27% of the blend is fermented in oak barrels, underwent no malo-lactic and is aged a minimum of 66 months on fine lees. It has an gorgeous nose showing ripe Meyer lemon preserves, honey, butter pastry and a whiff of toast. The light to medium-bodied palate is rich with a tight-knit mousse and nervy acidity that brightens up lemon cream flavors on the mid-palate, then finishes long with a hint of smoke. It is a refreshing and opulent Brut style of champagne with eight grams per liter dosage. The bottle tasted was disgorged July 2023. Lot: 150723 D20 " - Sarah Mayo

"The 2015 Brut Spécial Club is 100% Chardonnay from three Premier Cru lieux-dits in Villers-Marmery. Soft, open-knit and expressive, the 2015 offers hints of pear, apricot, white flowers and spice. A touch of barrel fermentation and a slightly higher dosage of 8 grams per liter work well here in taming some of the more austere characters that run through most of these Champagnes. This is a fine effort for the year. Disgorged: January, 2023."
