What is this wine?

This is a grower Champagne made entirely from Chardonnay (“Blanc de Blancs”), sourced from old vines (“Vieilles Vignes”) in Grand Cru vineyards of the Côte des Blancs, the heartland of top Chardonnay in Champagne. The “NV” designation means it is a non-vintage cuvée, crafted from multiple harvests for balance and consistency.

Why get this wine?

Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs from old vines offers exceptional purity, depth, and minerality—qualities usually found in much more expensive prestige cuvées. With limited production and vineyard sourcing at the very top level, this bottle delivers serious Champagne character at excellent value.

What does this wine taste like?

Expect a precise, elegant style: fine mousse, bright citrus and green apple fruit, chalky minerality, and subtle brioche notes from aging. The old-vine fruit brings extra concentration and length on the palate.

When should you drink this wine?

Perfect for celebrations or as an aperitif, but its intensity makes it excellent with seafood, oysters, or light poultry. Drink now for freshness, or cellar 3–5 years for added complexity.

Champagne

Champagne boasts some of the world’s greatest luxury brands with Krug, Cristal and, of course, Dom Perignon. But it’s also home to hundreds of small dynamic producers—farmers who grow their own grapes (often organically) and make (often with natural methods) tiny amounts of pure and absolutely delicious wine that reflect the individual personalities of their villages and terroirs. Toast with these wines, for sure. But also treat them like the great wines they are: taste, drink, explore!
