Champagne Blanc de Blancs - Chardonnay
Guide GaultMillau 2010 : 17 /20 |
"Blanc de Blancs" is the name given to Champagne made only from white grapes (Chardonnay). It has a very clean taste and nose is fine, delicate, light and lively. |
Cuvée Blanc de Blancs - Chardonnay: Chardonnay from the Montagne de Reims, the Massif de Saint-Thierry
and the Marne Valley right bank. Harvesting: Manual. Severe & successive selection on the
plant. |

Pressing. 4000 kg pneumatic press to give a refined, delicate and precise choice of juice. Only the first part of the first pressing is used to make up this cuvée. Vinification: Classic and traditional in low volume (50 to 100 Hectolitre - 1000 to 2000 gallon) stainless steel vats. Chilling, partial malo-lactic fermentation. Blending: A proportion of old "reserve" wines, aged in 225 litre barrels, varying from year to year between 10 and 20%, rounds out the range of aromas of this blend and guarantees consistent high quality. Tasting notes. |
Serving Temperature: 10°C (50°F) Marriage with food: Splendid as an aperitif. A good match with oysters, seafood, fine fish "en papillote" - generally refined and subtle foods. Read the press reviews (in french)... |
