The 2014 vintage

2014 was a memorable year, characterized by variations in temperature and rainfall. After a wet, warm autumn in 2013, the dry, early spring enabled all grape varieties to flower evenly from June onwards. Summer, though capricious, was followed by a hot, dry September, conducive to an early harvest. Chardonnays shone particularly brightly, demonstrating exceptional resilience and potential.

Origin, vinification and ageing

Blanc de Blancs 2014 is made exclusively from the first pressing of Chardonnay grands crus from the Côte des Blancs: Oger, Mesnil-sur-Oger, Cramant and Chouilly. 25% of the wine is vinified in small old oak barrels. After 8 years' ageing on the lees and 16 to 18 months' post-disgorgement rest, this extra-brut champagne, dosed at just 3g/l, achieves remarkable maturity and complexity.

Tasting notes

• To the eye: Pale, brilliant gold hue with fine effervescence, testimony to its long ageing.
• Nose: Enveloping aromas of fruit, hawthorn and sea spray, followed by citrus notes such as yuzu and blood orange, and an aniseed-like freshness. On aeration, hints of almond and apricot appear.
• Palate: Precise, supple attack, caressing, unctuous texture. Persistent, saline texture, with flavors of yellow fruit and star anise, inspiring the "Gourmand" theme.

Wine and food pairing

This Champagne Blanc de Blancs 2014 is ideal for accompanying seafood and raw fish. Its intensity pairs perfectly with grilled or smoked prawns, and even certain meats like Iberian pork with yuzu and truffle sauce. Serve at a temperature of 10-12°C to reveal all its aromatic richness.
