Vénus 2010 Brut Nature Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru

Vénus 2010 comes from an old Chardonnay vineyard in Avize planted in 1959. The grapes are picked by hand, and the soil is ploughed by the horse named Venus. The wine is aged exclusively in oak barrels and is not filtered. It then spends six years on the lees and is riddled by hand. Disgorgement takes place around 60 days before sale, so very fresh. There is no dosage (brut nature).

The champagne is fruity and at the same time finely structured. Add to that aromas of white truffle and toasty notes, which come from the barrel and the long lees ageing. Serve it at 10 to 12 °C in a large white wine glass so that it can open up. It goes with scallops, pan-fried turbot, poultry with mushrooms or risotto with white truffle.
