Champagne Duval-Charpentier - Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut

 

Guide VERON des Champagnes 2024
(around 28 euros per bottle)

Aspect

Gold, driven by fine bubbles.

Nose

The Chardonnay, harvested by hand in 2018 in old plots of vine planted in 1948 next to the Verzenay mill, is revealed complex and dense with aromas of white fruits and candied citrus fruits, punctuated by spices thanks to the passage in oak barrels of 10% of the base wines.

Palate

The vitality, enhanced by the timely stop of the malolactic fermentation of the base wines and by the adjusted dosage with 4 g/L of sugar added, gives way to an endless generosity.

With this Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut, Arnaud Duval, inspired wine grower, revisits with talent his favourite terroir, the Grand Cru of Verzenay north of the Mountain of Reims.
