Brice

Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru | Bottle 75cl

Description

Cuvée Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru from Brice is a taut, elegant, gourmet champagne with fine balance. It's a cuvée that's equally at home as an aperitif or with gourmet dishes.

This champagne is made exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes from the Grand Cru terroir of Bouzy, and three parcels in particular: Les Chantereines, Les Grosses Pierres, and Les Cercets.

This Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru champagne, crafted by Brice's cellar master Christophe Constant, is vinified and aged mainly in stainless steel vats to preserve its freshness. A small proportion of the wine is vinified and aged in 228-liter oak barrels to bring out its fullness and complexity. Malolactic fermentation is not carried out, in order to preserve high tension.

The dosage is Extra Brut (4g/l), which simply underlines the aromatic and gourmet qualities of this Blanc de Noirs.

This cuvée has a golden color with intense reflections, and very fine bubbles.

On the nose, Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru Brice reveals notes of ripe yellow fruit, with a hint of bakery and sweet spices.

On the palate, this cuvée opens with a clean, elegant attack, with a delicate, silky mouthfeel. Notes of fresh fruit and citrus fruit appear on the mid-palate.

The finish is beautiful and vibrant, with a hint of saltiness that fades after a few moments.

This is a champagne to be enjoyed both as an aperitif and with a fine white meat or oily fish.
