The pure chalk of the subsoil and the cool climate of the Côte des Blancs give life to a Champagne of rare elegance. This is the product of Stéphane Regnault, based in the heart of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, one of the most prestigious villages in the Champagne region. We're talking about Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Dorien n° 80 Extra Brut, 100% Chardonnay classified as Grand Cru. This vine is able to best interpret the mineral and refined character of the Côte des Blancs. Specifically, the grapes used by Stéphane Regnault come from vineyards that are over 30 years old, cultivated on chalk-rich soil. The winemaking process is careful and respectful of the characteristics of the grapes: 40% of the must ferments in wooden barrels, while the remaining 60% ferments in steel, to preserve the freshness and purity of the fruit. Indigenous yeasts, i.e. those naturally present on the grapes, are used for fermentation, adding complexity and uniqueness to the aromatic profile. After fermentation, the wine ages on its lees for several months before undergoing a second fermentation in the bottle, typical of the Champenoise method. Bright straw yellow colour with golden reflections, the nose is intense and complex, with notes of fresh citrus fruits, white flowers, toasted almonds and a distinct minerality. In the mouth it is tense, vibrant and salty, with a freshness that envelops the palate and a long persistence. Its elegant structure and well-integrated acidity make it a wine of great balance. Good already today, this Champagne can evolve magnificently in the bottle for up to 10 years, developing more complex and toasted notes. Perfect to accompany fish dishes, such as oysters, shellfish or mollusc-based dishes.
