Bulles de Craie is a Blanc de Blancs champagne full of freshness and finesse. It is an ideal cuvée for an aperitif or to accompany seafood.
This cuvée is made from Chardonnays from the Grand Cru terroirs of Mesnil sur Oger and Oger, and the Premier Cru terroirs of Vertus and Villeneuve. These villages are located on the Côte des Blancs, where chalk is omnipresent in the soil. It lies just a few centimeters below the surface, providing the vines with both a perfect water reserve and the need to dig deep to find nutrients.
The proportion of reserve wines is relatively low (around 20%) in order to preserve great freshness. The dosage, Brut (8g), adds a touch of roundness and indulgence.
Bulles de Craie is a champagne with a golden, bright and seductive color.
The nose reveals floral notes and a hint of citrus. It is only on the second nose that the more brioche notes appear.
On the palate, this champagne has a fresh and lively attack that softens in the mid-palate, with a lingering citrus aroma. The finish is sublime, with delicate notes of iodine and limestone.
