Grape Profile: Chardonnay, the sole grape variety used in Blanc de Blancs Champagne, is prized for its finesse and freshness. Chardonnay tends to exhibit apple, pear, and citrus flavors with toast and biscuit notes.
Region Profile: Le Mesnil-sur-Oger sits at the heart of the Côte des Blancs, a region defined by deep, chalk-rich soils formed from ancient seabeds. These soils provide excellent drainage and reflect heat, allowing Chardonnay to ripen slowly while preserving acidity. The cool continental climate and chalky subsoils give wines from Le Mesnil their signature razor-sharp minerality, longevity, and precision.
