Cazals - Bulles de Craie

A step into the chalk. The Bulles de Craie is the only Premier Cru in the Cazals range, assembled from three distinct parcels: Villeneuve, Voipreux and Mesnil-sur-Oger. The 2020 harvest was demanding, an early drought lasting until September shaped a wine of concentration and precision. Aged four years on lees in the vaulted cellar. The name says everything: bubbles of chalk.

Tasting notes: On the eye: pale colour with glossy green hints. On the nose: lemon and citrus aromas, clean and direct. On the palate: a strong feeling of freshness with balanced acidity, finishing on notes of lemon, iodine and a pleasing chalky minerality.

Food pairing: A perfect champagne for aperitif, starters or petits fours. Also excellent with fine oysters and delicate shellfish.
