Blanc de Blancs

This blanc de blancs from Napoléon comes exclusively from premier cru Chardonnay and shows just how much tension a pure Chardonnay cuvée can have. More than four years of ageing give it a controlled freshness, and the dosage of 7 g/l keeps it precise and lean. On the nose, tart citrus notes meet candied peel. On the palate it starts delicate and fresh, then opens up towards the fruit. The mousse is fine and creamy.

Serve it at 8 to 10 degrees in a tulip glass or a slim white wine glass so the aromas can unfold. It convinces as an aperitif and at the table alike: scallops in a light sauce, fish with white butter or a mature cheese are fitting companions.
