Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru

This blanc de blancs is made exclusively from Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs, specifically from the grand cru sites of Avize, Cramant, Oger and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. It shows a pale golden colour and a fine, restrained mousse. On the nose, lime blossom and hawthorn dominate, joined by the lively note of candied lemon. The bouquet is fine and stays elegant.

On the palate it is fresh and silky. Pineapple, pear and candied citrus fruit carry the flavour, followed in the finish by a light spiciness and a salty trace. That makes it a good partner for pan-fried lobster in vanilla butter or a monkfish tagine with preserved lemons. A dessert with pineapple, lemon or coconut also works. Serve it at 8 to 10 °C in a slim tulip-shaped white wine glass.
