Blanc de Blancs 2015 | Bottle 75cl

Description

Elegant and luminous, G.H. Mumm's RSRV Blanc de Blancs 2015 embodies the purity and finesse of Chardonnay from one of Champagne's most prestigious terroirs. This exceptional vintage, made exclusively from grapes from the Grand Cru de Cramant, reveals a refined, mineral expression, sublimated by long cellar ageing.

The 2015 vintage

The 2015 vintage in Champagne was marked by a hot, dry climate, providing optimal ripeness for the grapes. After a mild winter and an early spring, the summer was particularly sunny, with a few dry spells. These conditions enabled the Chardonnays to develop beautiful aromatic concentration, while retaining well-balanced acidity. Harvested at perfect ripeness, the grapes from Cramant's chalky terroir give this cuvée an elegant minerality and vibrant freshness.

An exceptional Chardonnay from a unique terroir

RSRV Blanc de Blancs 2015 is made exclusively from Chardonnay from the classified Grand Cru village of Cramant, on the Côte des Blancs. This exceptional terroir, nicknamed the "chalk mountain", offers ideal conditions for the grape variety to flourish:

• A chalky soil that favors drainage and lends great minerality to the wines.
• A temperate climate that allows the grapes to ripen slowly and gradually, preserving their freshness.
• Historic plots acquired by Mumm in 1882, guaranteeing an authentic expression of the terroir.

After a minimum of three years' cellar ageing, this confidential cuvée benefits from a light dosage of 6 g/L, preserving its natural balance and aromatic purity.
