The source parcels, between Les Champboutons and Les Bionnes, belong to Grand Cru villages and give rise to a Blanc de Blancs of strong identity. The 2009 harvest and the use of grapes from mature vines, with an average age of about 40 years, provide balance and intensity to a tailor-made Champagne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it expresses itself with a clear and refined profile, characterized by a pronounced chalky imprint and an aromatic weave centered on the purity of Chardonnay. The long aging on the lees imparts complexity, depth, and a creamy sensation, while the contained dosage keeps the sip tense, dry, and very precise. The complete malolactic fermentation softens the whole without removing energy, offering a persistent, fresh, and savory finish, with great elegance and gustatory progression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommended pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eChampagne MINERAL 2009 Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru\u003c\/strong\u003e is ideal with raw seafood, oysters, ceviche, fish tartare, and shellfish, but it also pairs very well with refined dishes based on steamed fish, delicate white meats, and preparations with mushrooms or not overly aged soft cheeses.
