This vintage cuvée aims to capture the highest expression of the Pinot Noir from the "La Montagne" vineyard, harvested around the first vineyards purchased by the Maison. Inspired by the Maison’s know-how based on a year of harvest, this pure Chardonnay comes from some plots of medium hill concentrated in the vineyard of "La Côte", in the heart of the Côte des Blancs. Composed of 100% Chardonnay, the Blanc de Blancs Vintage cuvée is aged on the lees for an average of 5 years, followed by a rest of at least 6 months after disgorging to perfect its maturation. Supported by the saline freshness of limestone, this Blanc de Blancs is a slender, straight, bright wine with a caressing and powdery texture in which minerality is gently bonded to the matter. Bright yellow color to the chalice, with reflections tending to green. Effervescence sweet, creamy, extremely fine and delicate. Precise and mineral bouquet, in which we distinguish ripe citrus of cedar, white flowers almost vanilla and notes of almond and wheat. Freshness is manifested by aromas of mint and iodine progressively enriched by warmer nuances of smoked notes, warm butter and toasted. Palate creamy, soft and concentrated at the same time. The wine opens in an intense way, supported by a delicate effervescence. The sensation is that of a mature juice, complete and concentrated, with an incredible dense texture, decidedly saline finish. A few notes of wood and smoke further distend the wine, giving it greater length and complexity, an indication of its exceptional aging potential. The finish is pure, refreshing and dynamic. Champagne Blanc de Blancs is a great wine for meditation, to be uncorked on important occasions. To fully appreciate the style, this champagne must be served at a service temperature of 8/10°C.
