Description
The "Blanches Vignes" 1er Cru 2020 is one such parcel-specific bottling. The name of the lieu-dit refers to the light soils, shaped by the typical geology of Champagne. Especially with these wines, Allouchery aims not only to showcase the grape variety, but above all the specific location and its influence on the structure and expression of the Champagne.
Adding to this is the clear character of the 2020 vintage. The grapes from a single harvest year form the basis of the wine, allowing the characteristics of the vintage to show through more authentically than in a classic multi-vintage cuvée. The subsequent long aging on the lees provides additional depth and a finer texture, without masking the freshness and tension of the origin.
"Blanches Vignes" is thus a characterful Premier Cru for lovers of terroir-driven grower Champagnes. Single vineyard, vintage, and artisanal craftsmanship are at the forefront – a precise and distinctive Champagne that particularly clearly reflects Brice Allouchery's philosophy.
Das erwartet dich beim Trinken
Citrus zest, crisp apple, and delicate stone fruit meet white blossoms, subtle brioche notes, and mineral hints.
Tight and precise with fine perlage and lively freshness. The clear fruit is supported by chalky and slightly salty nuances and leads into a long, straightforward finish.
Ideal with oysters, scallops, shellfish, delicate fish, poultry, veal, or aged Comté.
