Suenen’s Champagne Blanc de Blancs Oiry Grand Cru Les Cocuettes 2017 is an exquisite single-vineyard expression of Chardonnay, showcasing the purity and precision of the grand cru village of Oiry in the Côte des Blancs. This Champagne delivers a radiant bouquet of lemon zest, green apple, and white peach, intertwined with floral notes of jasmine and acacia, and underpinned by chalky minerality and a touch of saline freshness. On the palate, it is taut and focused, revealing flavors of crisp pear, citrus curd, and a hint of almond, framed by a fine, creamy mousse and vibrant acidity. The finish is long, mineral-driven, and impeccably elegant, embodying the finesse of its grand cru origins.

Les Cocuettes reflects Suenen’s commitment to biodynamic farming and minimal intervention winemaking. Grapes are hand-harvested from a small parcel rooted in the chalk-rich soils of Oiry, emphasizing terroir expression. Fermentation occurs naturally with indigenous yeasts, and the wine is aged on lees to enhance complexity and texture. The 2017 vintage, marked by its cool growing season, lends this Champagne remarkable clarity and tension, while the low dosage highlights its purity and vibrancy.

This Blanc de Blancs is a perfect match for refined dishes such as oysters, lobster, or scallop carpaccio, as well as delicate poultry or creamy risottos. Its focused structure and layered complexity also make it an ideal choice for celebratory occasions or contemplative sipping. Suenen’s Les Cocuettes 2017 is a shining example of single-vineyard Champagne, crafted with precision and respect for its exceptional terroir.
