Champagne "Eloquence" Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Extra Brut

This Champagne is an Extra Brut, which means that very little sugar has been added. Precisely for this reason it is a wine that emphasises the acid-mineral sensations, characteristic of its terroir. A very dry, vigorous and austere wine, perfect for those who love Champagne with a strong character. Pure Chardonnay, the grapes come from Grand Cru vineyards located in the village of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, in the Côte des Blancs. The Côte des Blancs is a narrow strip of land that extends for about 20 kilometres south of Épernay, where chalk is the undisputed king. And it is precisely this chalk, rich in marine fossils, that gives the wines minerality, finesse and longevity. The Blanc de Blancs designation indicates that it is produced exclusively with white grapes. 20% of the cuvée is composed of reserve wine, aged in barriques. The rest is aged in steel tanks. After bottling and the second fermentation, the wine ages on its lees for at least 3 years. At disgorgement, 3 grams of sugar per litre are added. On the nose, this Champagne presents aromas of citrus fruits, white flowers and dried fruits, with a mineral touch. In the mouth it is dry, vigorous and austere, with good acidity and a persistent finish. Good right away, this Champagne also has a good ageing capacity. It can be kept in the cellar for at least 10 years, evolving in complexity and refinement. Thanks to its minerality and acidity, this Champagne is perfect as an aperitif, especially with seafood. It also goes well with fish dishes and sushi.
