The house’s prestige Blanc de Blancs is crafted from Chardonnay from exclusively Grand Cru vineyards – primarily the iconic villages of the Côte des Blancs. The 2016 vintage developed its complex and refined character after six years of ageing on the lees. The nose is elegant, led by notes of white flowers, citrus, almond and a touch of brioche, with a subtle chalky minerality in the background. On the palate, it is taut and vibrant, with lively acidity and a creamy texture. Flavours of lemon zest, green apple, roasted nuts and discrete notes of ageing unfold, leading to a long, fresh finish. Precise, polished and stylishly elegant, this is a true Blanc de Blancs classic, which is both celebratory and richly detailed.
