Champagne AOC Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru Brut 2015 Blondel

What kind of wine it is

The Champagne Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru produced by Blondel is an elegant and vibrant wine, made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes grown in the Trois-Puits area. This wine is crafted according to the rules of the Traditional Method, which enhances the finesse and freshness typical of Chardonnay from this territory. The Brut dosage results in a taut and clean style, able to offer a pronounced minerality. The meticulous care in the cellar returns a balanced sip, with a fresh profile that prepares the palate for tasting.

Where it comes from

The grapes come from the Trois-Puits area, classified as Premier Cru in the Champagne region. This designation underlines the quality of the parcels and highlights the expressiveness of Chardonnay. The identity of the place is reflected in a structure oriented towards precision to ensure a clean taste and an elegant aromatic continuity.

How it is made

Vinification follows the Traditional Method, with the second fermentation in bottle to develop the wine’s structure. Ageing on the lees continues for four to five years, a period that favors the integration of the bubbles and creates a pleasant creamy component. After disgorgement, a rest of at least six months ensures proper sensory stabilization. The Brut dosage keeps the finish lively and direct.

Tasting notes

Visually, it shows a yellow color with green and golden reflections, animated by a fine and steady mousse. On the nose, it opens with aromas of citrus and lemon, followed by floral notes, mint, and fennel, over a soft creamy background. On the palate the attack is fresh and the silky texture leads to a persistent progression. The finish is marked by clear citrus returns and gentle violet accents that maintain great linearity.

Food pairing

The Champagne pairs perfectly with citrus desserts such as lemon meringue tart, where the acidity balances the sweetness. Thanks to its tension, it effectively contrasts with rich dishes such as choucroute or traditional beef bourguignon and enhances the flavor without losing momentum. The aromatic notes and velvety texture also make it a great match for Thai cuisine to maintain balance at the table.

When to serve it

It is ideal when you seek a wine with a fresh and elegant profile. The prolonged maturation makes it ready to express a steady mousse, integrated softness, and a decisive mineral tension. This wine pairs precisely with citrusy recipes and more structured dishes. Its lively character is perfect for those seeking an easy-to-drink wine that maintains a very defined aromatic character.
