BLANC DE BLANCS Brut
An encounter between two expressive Chardonnays, blending the unique intensity of Aÿ’s grapes with the purity of Côte des Blancs’ to create an unprecedented Champagne expression.
THE ORIGINS
Cultivated with 100% Chardonnay grapes from two magnificent grand cru regions: Aÿ and the Côtes des Blancs (Avize, Cramant, Oger), an approach pioneered in the late 90s by James Lallier, at a time when Chardonnay was chosen exclusively from Côte des Blancs. Perfectly timed harvesting to ensure that the grapes used in Blanc de Blancs Champagne are fully matured and at their pinnacle. Inspired by Lallier’s sincere respect and outstanding understanding of terroir, this pure Chardonnay is grown on chalky hillside plots, allowing the vine’s roots to penetrate deeper, providing excellent drainage, yet still retaining sufficient moisture for nourishment. A tribute to the legendary Champagne terroir.
THE BLEND
An unusual, innovative blend of two complementary but distinct Chardonnays – comprising of grapes from the Côte des Blancs, known for its purity, and the Aÿ region, offering atypical intensity.
