Blanc de Blancs Extra

Pure Chardonnay, aged at least seven years in the bottle: the Blanc de Blancs Extra is the precise, calm voice in the Jean-Noël Haton range. A small part, 5 to 7 per cent, is vinified in wood. This gives the wine structure without masking its freshness. The perlage is fine and airy.

On the nose come acacia and lime blossom, with lemon and a resinous note, accompanied by a hint of pepper and mint. On the palate structure and vitality come together, and the finish is long and distinctly mineral. Serve it at 8 to 10 °C in a tulip-shaped white wine glass. It goes with turbot and other fine fish, and equally with poultry in a morel sauce. A champagne for occasions when you take your time.
