coteaux champenois
blancs
Four crus, happily selected by and favourites of Cyril Brun, Cellar Master at Charles Heidsieck, are offered in a unique tasting case.
For the first time, the Charles Heidseick House shows a tiny insight of the work of Cyril Brun as creator, through an ultra limited edition of 250 cases of Coteaux Champenois Blancs.
These four crus, 100% Chardonnay, real favorites of Cyril, have been selected with particular attention and are proposed for a comparative tasting.
Distinct, crisp and thirst-quenching.
Villers-Marmery is a small commune where Chardonnay is like a drop of water in an ocean of Pinot Noir. These wines are very lively, have well-developed and refreshing acidity with long ageing potential.
Mineral, creamy and generous.
Vertus is a village with one of the largest areas of vines generating wines with great minerality, citrus notes and a zesty character.
Smooth, well-structured and balanced
Oger is the most atypical wine of the Côte des Blancs. The wines are full-bodied and ‘meaty’ with a pleasant liveliness.
Mature, exuberant and generous
Montgueux, certainly the most developed of the four crus, produces very ripe grapes with a tropical-fruit or ripe-yellow-fruit profile. The full-bodie roundness recalls the Chardonnays of Burgundy.
"Before the bubbles appear, all our wines are still and it is from these wines that our intuition guides our choice of blends."
