DESCRIPTION
Although the Côte de Sézanne is the kingdom of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir finds a singular expression there on clay-chalk soils exposed South and South-East. This Blanc de Noirs cuvée honors the power of this black grape variety, sourced from vines averaging 45 years of age, cultivated with care to reveal the structured character of the terroir.
The crafting of this Champagne relies on a great mastery of blending, integrating an exceptional proportion of 54% reserve wines (2019, 2018, and 2013 vintages) to enrich the 2021 base. Vinified in stainless steel tanks and partially in large oak vats (4%), it conserves its freshness thanks to a partial malolactic fermentation. An aging of 24 months on lees refines its structure.
Dosaged as Extra-Brut ($6\text{ g/l}$), this Blanc de Noirs unveils a fascinating complexity, combining the typical power of Pinot Noir with delicate aromas of red fruits. It is a wine that is both vinous and elegant, capable of accompanying an entire meal, sublimating roasted poultry or dishes with autumnal flavors.
REGION
Champagne
France
Champagne is not only the wine of grand celebrations, it is also a unique region in the world, located in the northeast of France. With its limestone hillsides and a cooler climate than any other French wine region, it gives rise to wines of unmatched finesse.
The three emblematic grape varieties (Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay) flourish here despite the harsh climate, thanks to chalky soils that retain both warmth and minerality. Artfully blended, they create the most famous of sparkling wines: Champagne AOC, a symbol of elegance and craftsmanship.
