Grand Cru 2015 Blanc de Blancs

  • 100% chardonnay

Elaboration

This Blanc de Blancs champagne is made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes selected in
Grand Cru villages from the Côte des Blancs. It draws its slender, supremely elegant character from the high-quality, distinctive soils, gaining body and minerality from vines cultivated on chalk, the hallmark of prestigious champagne.

Aged at least 8 years in the cellars.

Tasting notes

Appearance: platinum-hued with flashes of green, and a fine, lively bead nurtured over many years in
the cellars. Creamy effervescence.

Nose: Very open, as evidenced in the lingering floral tones of fragrant limeblossom, acacia and jasmine.
Gaining in richness, the wine offers seductive, pastry notes of custard, vanilla and pain aux raisins.
Palate: Initially exudes notes of citrus rind and liquorice.
The Grand Cru Chardonnay grapes instantly flaunt their essentially slender character, remarkable
citrus fruit structure, while intense and multi-layered. Utterly wellbalanced, bringing complexity and the promise of great longevity.
The Chardonnay unleashes lively notes of juniper berries, star anise and hawthorn. Refreshing on
the finish, with a delectably moreish, minty freshness.

2015 Vintage

After 1976 and 2003, 2015 was the third hottest year since 1951. The drought intensified from mid-May until the second half of August. For three months, Champagne experienced unprecedented heat, which slowed down the development of the grapes.

Unexpectedly, rain fell on the vineyards for a good two weeks after August 15. At the same time, temperatures dropped sharply, limiting the risk of disease. The grapes were able to grow without disrupting the ripening process or the harvest. However, the harvest was closely monitored throughout the appellation in order to obtain optimum potential alcohol levels and ripeness. The grapes are very healthy and the Pinot Noir musts are fruity, clean and powerful.

Food Pairings

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Blanc de Blancs champagne ?

A Blanc de Blancs Champagne is made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes: this is the most appreciated grape variety in Champagne because it brings finesse and elegance, freshness and liveliness to the wine.

On tasting, Chardonnay brings delicate citrus aromas, floral and mineral notes, and then, after a few years of aging, it develops notes of candied fruit, toasted bread, brioche, and pastries.

What is a vintage champagne ?

A vintage champagne is made exclusively from grapes harvested in a single, exceptional year. Unlike non-vintage champagnes, which are blends of wines from several years, these bottles capture the unique essence and reflect the climatic characteristics of their year, offering depth and aromatic complexity that evolve over time.

These bottles are, by definition, rarer.

At what temperature and how should champagne be served?

Depending on when you plan to drink it, the ideal temperature ranges from 7 to 12 degrees Celsius. For an aperitif, a cool temperature of between 7 and 8 degrees is best. For meals, a temperature between 10 and 12 degrees is fine.

Serving champagne: hold the bottle by the base and pour the champagne gently in several stages if necessary. Ideally, champagne should be served in a specific glass, such as our "Absolu" glass.

How long can champagne be stored?

Unlike some wines, champagne is not designed to age indefinitely. However, certain bottles can be kept for several years under optimal conditions.

  • Non-vintage champagne: This type of champagne is generally ready to drink as soon as it is purchased and can be kept for around 2 to 3 years without any loss of quality.
  • Vintage champagne: These champagnes, produced from a single exceptional harvest year, have a longer aging potential. They can be stored for 5 to 10 years, or even longer, depending on the initial aging time of the cuvée.

In both cases, it is important to consume the champagne before its quality begins to decline. The delicate aromas and effervescence can diminish over time, even under the best conditions.

How should I store my bottle of champagne?


To preserve your champagne quality, it is important to store it away from light, at a constant temperature (ideally between 10°C and 12°C). Storing bottles horizontally is ideal to ensure that the cork remains in contact with the liquid.

A well-ventilated cellar with a humidity level between 70% and 85% is the best option.
