Why Cave selected it

A benchmark Blanc de Blancs grower Champagne: old-vine Chardonnay from chalky slopes, low-intervention farming, oak élevage, and no dosage delivering clarity, texture, and outstanding value.

About the wine

This crowd-pleaser blanc de blancs comes from mid-slope vineyards in Chavot and Epernay where the vines average 35yo. Oak-aged in a mix of foudres and barrels and with no dosage so this is a Brut Nature.
