Blanc de Blancs 2015

The Blanc de Blancs 2015 from Pannier is made entirely from Chardonnay, sourced from grands crus and premiers crus. The house is based in Château-Thierry, on the western edge of Champagne. Three years of ageing in the cellar have given this vintage balance without taking away its freshness.

In the glass, citrus notes meet white fruit, with gentle touches of spice. The wine feels delicate but has a clear personality, and stays elegant throughout. Serve it at 8 to 10 °C in a tulip-shaped white wine glass. At the table it suits dishes with a delicate sweetness and gentle spicing, such as a shrimp soufflé or scrambled eggs with saffron prawns. It is also a good choice as an aperitif if you want a taut, fresh start.
