The 2017 Irizée Chardonnay cuvée produced by Régis Poissinet is an astonishing champagne that reveals beautiful complexity and minerality.
This Blanc de Blancs is made from Chardonnay grapes grown on the clay-limestone and silty-limestone soils of the Marne Valley. This produces grapes that are both expressive and very refined.
The 2017 Irizée Chardonnay cuvée was vinified in oak barrels, then bottled with a cork stopper and left to spend four years in the cellars of the house to develop its aromatic palette.
This cuvée was disgorged at the end of 2022 and dosed as Extra Brut (2.3g/L).
This champagne has a bright, powdery gold color, with lively, fine bubbles.
On the nose, the 2017 Irizée Chardonnay reveals lovely notes of citrus, spices, and slightly woody roasted coffee.
On the palate, the attack is delicate and round but supported by a beautiful tension. The texture is creamy, delicate and superb, while the finish is marked by great minerality and beautiful salinity.
