Cellaring: Can be drunk now and can also be kept for 8 years.

By Stephan Reinhardt: "It opens with a very clear, precise and concentrated bouquet. It is also pure and quite fresh/greenish with chalk, herbs and lemon peel - really exciting! Very mineral and complex on the palate, this is a pure Champagne full of finesse, but firmly structured and persistent with flavours of marjoram on the long, strict and taut finish. It is a young and vital but serious Champagne, tightly woven and expressive, medium-bodied. It tastes intense and deep, with excellent ageing potential. Impressive."

- Comments from the Cellar Master Odilon de Varine: "In our range, a Blanc de Blancs was missing. We wanted to integrate it into the existing range while preserving the house style. It has the finesse of the Côte des Blancs and the structure of the Montagne de Reims.

- 100% Chardonnay, the Grand Blanc de Blancs is the precious concentrate of the terroir of about fifteen villages of the Côte des Blancs (Avize, Chouilly, Cramant, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Cuis) but also of the Côte des Noirs with whites (Villers-Marmery, Tours-sur-Marne, Trépail). So many champagne expressions, complexities and aromas that have allowed us to explore many rich and successful avenues of work and to finalise this exceptional cuvée.

- Vinification and maturation on lees to avoid premature oxidation.

- Malolactic fermentation is carefully avoided in order to preserve the naturally fruity aroma of the wines and to ensure perfect conservation.

- Raw dosage (6 g/l) to maintain the balance between freshness, fruitiness and vinosity and not to mask the wine's character and purity. Aged for a minimum of 3 years in the cellar at a constant temperature, much longer than the legal minimum of 15 months.

- Tasting: The fine, present bubble rises to the surface with a light touch. The colour is a pale golden hue. The nose is both mineral and floral, revealing aromas of flowers and white fruits, apricot, mirabelle plum, and, in very light touches, notes of acidulous yellow lemon, citrus fruit, quince paste and sweet honey. On the palate, white flowers mingle with lightly toasted fragrances. A silky touch and a harmonious palate for this lively and structured champagne.

- To be served with: This fine and elegant cuvée is the ideal companion for the aperitif. Its freshness also allows it to be paired with many dishes, notably scallops, crab remoulade, gougères, fish tartar, oysters, risotto with parmesan shavings, white meats, young and fruity comté, parmesan

- Disgorgement: minimum 6 months Villages: Avize, Chouilly, Cramant, Villers-Marmery, Trépail...

- Dosage: 6 g/l Serving temperature: 8°/10°.
