WINE DESCRIPTION
Roland Champion Carte Blanche Blanc de Blancs Brut Champagne Grand Cru 'Chouilly' is a luxurious expression of the Côte des Blancs, crafted with precision by the Champion family. This Blanc de Blancs is made from 100% Chardonnay, sourced exclusively from the Grand Cru vineyards of Chouilly, known for their prime south-southeast exposure, which imbues the grapes with elegance and finesse. Founded in 1951, the estate is now led by François Champion, the third generation, who meticulously oversees every step, from manual harvesting to blending different parcels and vintages. The grapes are carefully pressed on-site, preserving their purity, before aging in cool, chalk cellars that maintain a consistent temperature. The result is a cuvée that beautifully showcases the heritage and expertise of this small grower.

The palate is equally impressive, with a lively and persistent mousse that dances on the tongue. Flavors of lemon zest, pear, and brioche unfold, accompanied by a subtle creaminess and a vibrant acidity. The wine strikes a perfect balance between richness and freshness, leaving a long and satisfying finish. It is a perfect choice for special occasions or as an aperitif to celebrate life's moments.
