Brice

Blanc de Blancs | Bottle 75cl

Description

Brice's Blanc de Blancs is a champagne of remarkable finesse and delicacy. It's a perfect cuvée for the aperitif, with its fruity and floral notes.

This is an atypical Blanc de Blancs. Half the Chardonnays in the blend come from the Grand Cru terroirs of Bouzy, on the Montagne de Reims, stronghold of the Brice family. The Bouzy Chardonnays offer a beautiful minerality, brought about by the limestone soil, and a fairly pronounced aromatic richness. The other half of the blend comes from the Premier Cru terroir of Grauves, on the Côte des Blancs. The village of Grauves is located at the extreme end of the Côte des Blancs, producing Chardonnays that are rounder and fruitier than the classic taut Chardonnays of the Côte des Blancs.

Maison Brice's Blanc de Blancs was created by Christophe Constant, Maison Brice's cellar master. Most of the juice was vinified and aged in stainless steel tanks. The remainder is aged in 350-liter barrels, adding a touch of complexity to the blend.

To achieve the perfect balance between the different Chardonnays, Christophe Constant chose not to carry out malolactic fermentation, allowing the wine to retain all its mineral tension.

The dosage is Extra Brut (3g/l), simply highlighting the aromaticity of the Chardonnays.

This Blanc de Blancs Brice has a beautiful golden color with silvery highlights. Its bubbles are remarkably fine.

The nose is generous and expressive, initially offering notes of white flowers, followed by white fruit (pear) and a touch of citrus.

On the palate, this cuvée opens with a round attack and a silky texture. In the mid-palate, we find the fruity notes discovered on the nose, but also a certain complexity. The finish resonates for long seconds on the palate.

A superb cuvée that can be enjoyed as an aperitif to stimulate the taste buds, or as a match for seafood dishes (seafood, fish, white meat, ceviche...).
