The History of Special Club

Created in 1971, the Club des Trésors de Champagne originally brought together a dozen of the best champagne growers. Their goal was to better showcase the singularities of grower champagnes, and it was for this reason that they decided to create a prestige champagne baptized Special Club. Each member of the club must thus offer their best cuvée under the name Special Club.

And in 1988, to reinforce the visual identification of this cuvée, a specific bottle was adopted. It is still this bottle that is used today by the 28 members of the Club des Trésors de Champagne.

The Making of Marc Hébrart Special Club 2020 Champagne

This exceptional cuvée is a blend of 65% Pinot Noir and 35% Chardonnay, sourced from Premier and Grand Cru terroirs. The selected plots include Faubourg d'Enfer, Croix Blanche, and Buisson Saint Loup in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, as well as vines in Louvois. These terroirs, rich in chalk and clay, bring finesse and complexity to the wine.

Vinification takes place in small thermo-regulated stainless steel vats for precise control of fermentations. Malolactic fermentation is initiated to ensure a silky texture and exceptional freshness. After aging for 36 months on lees, the champagne is dosed as Extra Brut, balancing intensity and vivacity.

The 2020 Vintage

The 2020 vintage in Champagne benefited from a particularly favorable climate. Alternating hot summer days and cool nights allowed the grapes to reach perfect maturity, combining aromatic richness and natural acidity. The Pinot Noirs stand out for their intensity, while the Chardonnays bring a sparkling freshness, the signature of this exceptional vintage.
