TERROIR DE CHOUILLY - MAGNUM
Blanc de Blancs – Grand Cru – Extra-Brut
Also available in Jeroboam
Blend: 100% Chardonnay
Dosage: 5 g/l

This cuvée is made from grapes grown in the Chouilly terroir. Vinified in stainless steel vats, it includes around 20% reserve wines depending on the year.
- Appearance
The wine opens with a pale gold hue and green highlights, showing a crystalline brilliance. The effervescence is defined by fine, regular, and lively bubbles that form a persistent, creamy cordon
- Palate
The attack is clean and precise, carried by beautiful mineral tension. The mid-palate is vibrant, dominated by crisp lime flavours, supported by a chalky texture that underscores the wine’s vertical structure. Fine notes of brioche, hazelnut, and a touch of quince add a gourmand dimension, perfectly balancing the freshness. The finish is long, chiselled, and saline, leaving a refined impression.
- Nose
Delicate at first, the bouquet reveals fresh citrus notes — particularly lemon and ginger. With aeration, it gains depth and complexity, unfolding aromas of toasted almond, gingerbread, and a subtle hint of forest floor. The whole expresses both the youthful freshness of the vintage and the depth characteristic of Chouilly’s chalky terroirs, where the white chalk imparts floral and fruity nuances, along with the finesse and elegance typical of the great crus of the Côte des Blancs.
- Pairing
Ideal as a refined aperitif, this vintage pairs beautifully with pan-seared foie gras flavoured with Espelette pepper. With a few additional years of ageing, it will develop even greater roundness and maturity.
