Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru 2016

The Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru 2016 from EPC is a pure Chardonnay from Vertus, vinified by a local group of growers. With 6 g/l dosage it stays fresh and clear. It belongs to the house's short-lived range and so appears only in a limited release. Hazelnut and toasted almonds show on the nose and palate.

The vintage is still young but already very approachable, and it also offers good ageing potential. That makes it appealing to connoisseurs and newcomers alike. At the table it works well with seafood, such as oysters or pan-seared scallops. Serve it at 9 to 11 degrees so the nutty notes have room to develop. A Blida glass or a white wine glass with a little belly suits it well. The thermo strip on the bottle shows you the right moment.
