DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Gaston Chiquet is a family grower in Champagne, and this cuvee is an unusual one: a Blanc de Blancs, 100% Chardonnay, from the Grand Cru village of Ay. Ay is Pinot Noir country, so a pure Chardonnay from its vineyards stands out. This is the 1.5L magnum.
It is made in stainless steel and rests at least 36 months on its lees, with a low dosage of about 3 g/L, so it tastes dry. Expect green apple, lime and pear, a chalky mineral streak and plenty of fine bubbles. Fresh and clean, with more texture than its lightness suggests.
Chill it to about 45-48F and pour into tulip glasses or white wine glasses. Oysters, sushi, fried chicken and aged Comte or Parmigiano are all good matches. A magnum pours about 12 glasses, which makes it an easy choice for a party or a holiday table.
Bottle size: 1.5L
