This Blanc de Blancs from Roger Coulon is made from 100% Chardonnay. Grown on the chalky soils of the vineyard plot of `Les Hauts Partas`, in the celebrated grand cru village of Chouilly, with Chardonnay vines aged 30-45 years old. Fermented with indigenous yeasts, aged in small oak barrels for 10 months, followed by 7 years of aging in the Domaine`s underground cellars. Aromas of chalk, citrus fruits and grapefruit, notes of pear and apple on the palate together with a hint of saltiness. Wonderful enjoyed on its own or paired with white fish, lobster or langoustine.
