CHAPUY GRAND CRU EXTRA BRUT BLANC DE BLANCS CHAMPAGNE
CHAPUY GRAND CRU EXTRA BRUT BLANC DE BLANCS CHAMPAGNE, FRANCE. 100% Chardonnay
A sleek and racy Grand Cru Blanc de Blanc by Aurore Chapuy of Champagne Chapuy. Fine and mineral driven with good bite and acidity.
In the Champagne region of France, a search for lightness and delicacy will inevitably lead you to the Cote de Blancs. Located in the department of Marne, this area streches for about 8000 acres or 12 miles with east facing slopes that are almost exclusively planted with the grapes that gave the region its name: Chardonnay. Of six villages that have been given Grand Cur status, only four are actually located on the Cote des Blancs namely Avize, Cramant, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oger but all municipalities between Cuis and Bergeres-les-Vertus have their vineyards on the Cotes. The Cote des Blanc's grand cru villages are highly regarded for their quality of fruit and many the best known prestige cuvees of the big Champagne houses source their fruit from here. (Importer)
90 points Wine Enthusiast: "Chapuy is a négociant based in Mesnil-sur-Oger in the Chardonnay vineyards of the Côte des Blancs. This wine, made from grapes sourced exclusively from grand cru vineyards, is all citrus, mineral and apple skin flavors. It's a tight, taut effort with a crisp texture and a note of grapefruit on the finish. Worth aging for a few months."
