Blanc de Blancs 2005 Vintage
A single grape, an outstanding vintage. Our Blanc de Blancs is quite simply the combination of exceptional quality Chardonnay in an exceptionally good year.
THE FACTS
Chardonnay grapes from our grand crus vineyards on the Côte des Blancs
(Chouilly, Avize) and premier crus vineyards (including Villers-Marmery), ripened to perfection.
THE LOOK
Sparkling, brilliant, straw gold. Very lively with good persistent mousse.
THE NOSE
Cherry blossom, vanilla and white pepper mingle with the irresistible notes of still- warm butter brioche.
THE TASTE
Fresh and light at first, then an explosion of mouthwatering flavours with white peaches and citrus notes in abundance. Very long, light, elegant finish.
THE TIME AND THE PLACE
Cries out to be enjoyed with seafood and fish – especially freshwater varieties in a light sauce. Wonderful also with a plate of oysters, or a selection of fresh goat’s cheese… and would make any early summer picnic very special.
