Champagne Penet-Chardonnet’s Les Fervins is another rare gem of the region: 2010 yielded several special vintage releases across Champagne, of which this is one. Unusually, vines were a mix of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, located in a hallowed site signposted by an ancient metal cross. It is this cross that gives this domaine its emblem. The two types of grape were harvested and vinified together, encapsulating the unusual terroir. The wine spent 11 years on lees. Drink now – 2040.
