"The base wine is from 2010 and shows wonderful freshness and vibrancy. For lovers of elegant and fine Blanc de Blancs: it’s showing lifted citrus, jasmine and acacia notes with creamy, brioche overlays. This cuvee possesses a superfine mousse with a wonderful finish that lingers long on the palate. Grongnet wines do not undergo malolactic fermentation, giving a spine of refreshing acidity that make you look forward to the next exquisite mouthful!"
--Winery Notes

Cécile Grongnet is making absolutely superb wines these days and her entry level Blanc de Blancs is one of the best values out there in the world of non-vintage Brut Champagne. This new arrival is from the base year of 2018, with the vins clairs not going through malo and the finishing dosage being its customary eight grams per liter. The wine is still youthful, but also open and complex on the nose, offering up scents of pear, hazelnut, a lovely base of limestone minerality, a nice touch of citrus zest and a gently smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied, focused and nascently complex, with a good core, zesty acids, elegant mousse and a long, very nicely balanced finish. Fine juice.
