Champagne Largillier Blanc de Noirs Brut

In the heart of the Côte des Bar, specifically in the village of Ville-sur-Arce, Jérôme Coessens produces his Champagne Blanc de Noirs Largillier Brut. This region, located in the southern part of the Champagne region, is characterised by clay and limestone-rich soil, which gives the wines a unique structure and complexity. The term ‘Blanc de Noirs’ indicates a Champagne produced exclusively from black grapes, in this case 100% Pinot Noir. Vinification takes place entirely in steel, with malolactic fermentation carried out in full, a process that softens the acidity and gives roundness to the wine. In the glass, Largillier Brut is bright golden, with a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, intense aromas of ripe red fruit, such as currants and strawberries, emerge, accompanied by delicate floral notes and hints of yeast. In the mouth, the attack is vertical and refreshing, with a pleasant acidity that balances the richness of the fruit. The structure is full and enveloping, with a long and savoury finish that invites you to take another sip. Already good today, this Champagne has a fair ageing capacity: up to 6 years. As for gastronomic pairings, Largillier Brut also goes well with meat dishes, such as a fillet of beef with green pepper or duck with orange. It is also ideal with mature cheeses and slightly spicy Asian dishes.
