Description

The champagne RSRV Blanc de Blancs 2016 is a pure and elegant cuvée, made exclusively from chardonnay from the Grand Cru terroir of Cramant. This cuvée perfectly reflects the minerality of this chalky soil, bringing freshness, vivacity, and finesse. It is an ideal cuvée for an aperitif or the beginning of a meal.

The Making of the Champagne Blanc de Blancs 2016 RSRV

The RSRV Blanc de Blancs 2016 is made exclusively from chardonnay, sourced from the Grand Cru plots that the House of Mumm acquired in 1882.

The year 2016, although marked by sometimes difficult climatic conditions, allowed the grapes to ripen under ideal conditions after a sunny August. The harvest began in early September, with grapes of exceptional quality, perfect for producing a champagne with high aging potential.

After vinification in stainless steel vats, the champagne is aged for a minimum of three years in the cellars before bottling. Its reduced pressure of 4.5 bars, compared to the traditional 6 bars, gives this vintage a delicate and subtle effervescence, in harmony with the elegance of the chardonnay.
