CHAMPAGNE BLANC DE BLANCS
GRAPE VARIETY
Chardonnay
TASTING NOTES
75% of wines of the year, 25% of reserve wines with an average age of 5 years. Majority of crus coming from the Côte des Blancs (Oger, Vertus), completed by VillersMarmery, Trépail, Vaudemange and Montgueux Aged more than 4 years on the lees. To the eye: pale, crystalline gold with the typical glints of the Chardonnay varietal. On the nose: the aromas of mature Chardonnay can be recognised initially: white peach, candied citrus with notes of lime, honeysuckle and fresh hazelnut, giving way to subtle hints of tangerine and lemon. On the palate: freshness and tautness mark this typically Charles generosity: the attack is pure and forthright, not aggressive but almost unconventionally suave for a Blanc de Blancs, so often characterised as being sharp rather than creamy. The harmonious finish offers surprising minerality and a slight salinity.
