About this Wine

Innovative assemblage of six Chardonnay from the best Premiers and Grands Crus of the Champagne region.The three pillars of this Blanc de blancs Premier Cru come from the three famous Grands Crus of Champagne – Avize, Oger and Chouilly. Avize is a rich Cru which brings strength. Oger offers tenderness and Chouilly a true elegance and finesse. These limestone soil Crus naturally present iodised notes and citrus aromas. The assemblage is balanced by the unique blend of Chardonnay of Villers-Marmery, a very mineral Cru with smoky notes making the wine round and light. The Crus from Vaudemange and Trépail complete the assemblage.

Appearence
A luminous, radiant white gold. A delicate bubble.

Nose
An airy entrance with a fine and delicate floral impression, completely elegant. Herbal notes – verbena, lime tree – the very airy warmth of marshmallow. Touches of lime, candied orange peel. An impression of crisp puff pastry.

Palate
Vivacious, with a light texture. Citrus notes of Sicilian lemon and lime. A lemon tart on puff pastry. Soft notes of white pepper, liquorice and smoke. A kaleidoscope of flavours, full of finesse, which complement each other and never end. Beautifully long in the mouth.

Wines from Champagne

Associated with luxury, celebration, Champagne is where the world’s most prized sparkling wine originates. In the past it was very common for people to confuse the term Champagne and sparkling wine as they are so synonymous. By EU law however, only sparkling wine made in the Champagne region and under strict quality standards can legally be called by that name.

Sparkling wine produced the Champagne way, goes through secondary fermentation in the bottle. This is known as méthode champenoise or outside of Champagne it is called the traditional method. When the yeast inside the bottle have finished working, they die and become lees. The lees remain in contact with the wine until the winemaker decides to take them out, creating texture, richness, and complexity in the wine.

In comparison, the other popular way of fermenting sparkling wine is called the Charmat method where the fermentation happens en masse in a large tank and extended lees contact does not happen. . This is cheaper and rather than emphasizing richness and complexity, the tank method enhances clean fruit and aromatics, making wines that are youthful and easy drinking.

The principal grapes that go into making champagne include: Chardonnay (white), Pinot Noir (red) and Pinot Meunier (red). A Champagne made exclusively from Chardonnay will be labelled Blanc de blancs while ones comprised of only red grapes will be called Blanc de noirs. Whether it be white or rose however, most Champagne is made from a mix of both red and white grapes.
