The essence of purity: Chardonnay in all its splendour
Blanc de Blancs represents the quintessence of elegance in Champagne, produced exclusively from Chardonnay grapes, which give these bubbles an unmistakable character of crystalline purity. This type, whose name literally means ‘white from white grapes’, finds its maximum expression in the chalky terroirs of the Côte des Blancs, where Grand Cru villages such as Mesnil-sur-Oger, Cramant and Avize produce wines of extraordinary mineral tension and complexity. The distinctive identity of these Champagnes lies in their vibrant acidity, aromatic finesse and ability to evolve magnificently over time, developing complexity without losing freshness.
A sensory profile of extraordinary finesse
The aromatic profile of Blanc de Blancs is distinguished by notes of fresh citrus, white flowers, green apple and pear, enriched by an unmistakable chalky minerality that faithfully reflects the terroirs of origin. On the palate, these Champagnes reveal a vertical and taut structure, characterised by a fine and persistent perlage and a vibrant acidity that gives them energy and longevity. With ageing, fascinating nuances of pastries, dried fruit, honey and spices emerge, while maintaining the characteristic mineral backbone that is the stylistic signature of this type. The creaminess of the mousse perfectly balances the acidity, creating a balance of extraordinary elegance.
Versatility at the table and different stylistic interpretations
Our selection explores the entire stylistic spectrum of Blanc de Blancs, from the most immediate and fruity versions to the more complex cuvées with greater ageing potential. Particular attention is paid to the different territorial expressions, from the classics of the Côte des Blancs to interpretations from lesser-known terroirs such as the Montagne de Reims or the Côte des Bar. Blanc de Blancs are extraordinary companions at the table, perfect with shellfish, raw fish, sushi and oyster dishes, but also capable of elegantly accompanying soft cheeses and more elaborate preparations. From the great Maisons that have made it a pillar of their portfolio to the small vignerons who offer artisanal and territorial interpretations, Blanc de Blancs represents the purest and most refined expression of Champagne.
