Vinifikation
The «Les Beaux Lieux» comes from a 50-year-old Chardonnay vineyard in Nogent l'Abbesse, facing southeast. The chalky, brown soil promotes the development of high-quality grapes. The vines, planted in 1974 and 1975 from a mass selection, produce only a few grapes each year, which gives the wine its exceptional concentration and finesse. The warm, sunny year of 2019 resulted in a harvest of particularly concentrated and balanced grapes, forming the foundation for this exceptional Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut. After bottling, «Les Beaux Lieux» ages for four years in the cellars before being released to the market.
Degustationsnotiz
The champagne shows a brilliant golden color, accompanied by fine, evenly rising bubbles. On the nose, it unfolds seductive notes of white flowers, particularly hawthorn, along with pleasant aromas of pear, citrus fruits, and verbena. On the palate, it opens with a fresh burst of flavor that spreads gently. The floral aromas perfectly harmonize with nuances of white peach and grapefruit. The finish is long and lingering.
