Le Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru - Etui

Delicacy and elegance

This Chardonnay cuvée has been elaborated from the five grand cru vineyards of the Côte des Blancs: Avize, Chouilly, Cramant, Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oger. It is a blend of two different years revealing the special quality of the Chardonnay.

In the eye: An ultra-delicate effervescence translating into an abundant mousse with fine dynamic bubbles. A magnificent bright golden hue with sparkling green reflections.

On the nose: A very pure and mineral intensity of rare typicity, releasing notes of brioche, fresh butter, and white flowers. A refined and subtle universe evolving delicately towards remarkable finesse.

On the palate: The creamy sensation of a chalky and meringue-like texture, combined with fresh almond nuances, citron zest, and citrus fruits. A smoothness of great class, sculpted and persistent, offering a lovely touch of salinity in the finish.

Tasting: An exceptional mousse texture with a mineral style that wonderfully pairs with Osciètre caviar or certain noble fish in carpaccio or ceviche. Serving temperature: 10°C
