Description

Alexandre Chartogne is regarded amongst the top ranks of Champagne's younger generation of artisanal grower producers.

A inspired by his time with the legendary Anselme Selosse (whom he describes as his, "Wine Father"), Alexandre has experimented with multiple modes of production during his tenure in control of his family's plantings just north of Reims. Since 2006, he has managed his sites on the southern slopes of the Massif de Saint-Thierry with organic practices (uncertified), and believes that in the traditions of his ancestors lies plenty of wisdom. He now makes the wines as they did - with the wines aged in barrel and handled with care.

The Cuvee Les Orizeaux is his singular 100% Pinot Noir bottling. Forged from fruit grown on a single plot with vines planted in 1961, this wine has only been released twice in Alexandre's time at the helm. It's a powerful, expansive Champagne with a sense of gravitas which elevates into the upper echelon of wines in this style.

    Chartogne -Tailett Cuvee Les Orizeaux

    Some of the best champagne I have had this year. Alexander is at the top of his game and the champagne has freshness, vitality and structure and it tastes delicious fresh strawberries and cream yummy.

    Excellent Blanc de Noir

    Very delicious with medium body and super long finish. My current favourite champagne.

The wine grower can approach wine from Les Orizeaux in multiple ways. Aged in tanks without air contact, it retains a supple texture, slightly rich in the mid-palate. Aged in casks, this wine opens up by balancing its chewiness as soon as the saltiness appears during maturation. This rich texture develops to provide a salty balance, which is not typical in our village.

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
