Vollereaux - Blanc de Blancs 2014

A vintage Blanc de Blancs from 2014, an elegant, cool year in Champagne that produced Chardonnay of excellent natural freshness and aromatic precision. At Vollereaux, this is the deepest expression of the house's Chardonnay identity: the same grape, the same Premier Cru Pierry terroir, but with nine years of patient lees ageing developing a complexity and depth that the non-vintage Blanc de Blancs cannot reach. James Suckling awarded it 91 points.

Tasting notes: Bright, light yellow with golden hints and fine bubbles. On the nose: citrus and yellow fruits first, then aromas of dried fruits and acacia honey. On the palate: lively, with brioche aromas rounding off the tasting as the citrus notes maintain a persistent and dynamic finish.

Food pairing: Elegant as an aperitif with sesame or wasabi accompaniments. Also excellent with fine fish, shellfish and dishes with citrus butter sauces.
