| Area | Champagne region (France) |
| Grape varieties | 100% Chardonnay |
| Aging | 4-5 years in the darkness and coolness of the Reims cellars. |
| Product name | Champagne Blanc de Blancs |
| Color | The colour is pale gold, sparkling and crystalline. |
| Perfume | On the nose, there is an intense minerality and freshness. Aromas of citrus and sun-ripened peaches. A bouquet of fresh flowers; honeysuckle, orange blossom and linden blossom. First fruity notes such as lemon and dried apricot, then pastry; with a characteristic hint of fresh butter. |
| Taste | In the mouth, it is at once dynamic, broad and powerful. The fresh lemon note lingers and melts into buttery brioche notes, with a tail of quince and acacia honey. A mouth-watering, fresh and delicious persistence to finish. |
| History | Derived essentially from the Premiers and Grands Crus of the Côte des Blancs, including Mesnil-sur-Oger and Avize, it also incorporates 40% of the Maison's precious Reserve wines. It is only after resting 4 to 5 years in the darkness and coolness of the Reims cellars, under the watchful eye of Laurent Fresnet, the Chef de Cave, that this 100% chardonnay cuvée can be tasted. |
