Cuvée des Prétrosses Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs 2010

The Cuvée des Prêtrosses comes from a single parcel in the Prêtrosses site in the grand cru village of Chouilly. It is pure Chardonnay from the 2010 vintage. With only 3,500 numbered bottles, it is a genuine rarity from Veuve J. Lanaud. On the nose white blossom opens up, shaded with butter, vanilla and toasty notes, with clear minerality underneath.

On the palate the blanc de blancs is fresh and floral, with fruit reminiscent of quince. The finish is harmonious and of good length. We recommend 10 °C and a large tulip glass or a slim white wine glass, so that the aromas have room. The champagne works as an aperitif, but even better with fine dishes such as scallop tartare, whose delicate sweetness suits the fruit.
