Silex&Craie - Chardonnay

Composition: A 100% Champagne from the Fontaine-Denis Terroir on the Côte de Sézanne. 100% Chardonnay, 70% vinified in oak barrels. 70% from the 2020 harvest, 30% from 2019. Sugar content: 1 Gr/L.

Aromas: The nose is delicate with aromas of white flowers as well as mineral and citrus notes. On the palate, it is lively, with a fine texture and beautiful freshness. The whole is clear and fresh with a noble finish of pink pomelo. A generous Blanc de Blancs, typical of the Côte de Sézanne.

Both flint and chalk are essential components of the soils of Fontaine Denis. There is nothing better than Chardonnay to express the nuances of this unique substrate. This Champagne is a true marvel of composition, immersing you in a chalky and creamy minerality.

Recommendation: Perfect as an aperitif!
