Straw color. Aromas and flavors of brioche and vanilla, cheesy, lees, umami, lemon curd, and green apple with a velvety, finely carbonated, dryish medium body and a long finish with notes of tart white peach, green apple and lemon, proofed bread dough and vanilla yogurt, and sea spray. A plush mouth feel mingles with flavors of fresh citrus and vanilla cream on a warm biscuit; an old school luxurious Champagne.

Champagne Blanc de Blancs

Blanc de Blancs, literally "white from white" refers to a Champagne that is made with only white grapes. For Champagne that white grape is exclusively Chardonnay. Blanc de Blancs also pair beautifully with many types of seafood, from grouper to tilapia.

As Chardonnay grown in the Champagne region has such naturally high acidity, the common thinking is that a Blanc de Blancs Champagne ages better than most other Champagnes, although its aging potential depends on numerous factors, including vine age, depth of fruit and cellar practices.
