What kind of wine is Champagne Brut Nature Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru 'M09' 2009 - M. Hostomme
The Champagne Brut Nature Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru 'M09' 2009 - M. Hostomme is one of the most elegant and pure expressions from the M. Hostomme house, a historic reality in Chouilly, in the heart of the Côte des Blancs. Produced exclusively with Chardonnay grapes from Grand Cru vineyards, it represents the ultimate expression of the terroir and the "Blanc de Blancs" style, meaning Champagne made only from white grapes. Winemaking faithfully follows the Champenoise method, a traditional process that involves secondary fermentation in the bottle, giving the wine that refined effervescence and aromatic complexity that makes Champagne inimitable.Vintage Details
The 2009 vintage is remembered for its perfect balance between ripeness and freshness. A sunny and regular summer allowed the grapes to reach the right sugar concentration without losing acidity, resulting in harmonious and profound wines. The harvest, carried out in September, brought healthy and golden bunches into the cellar, ideal for a high-level cuvée like the 'M09'.Winemaking and Aging
The production of this Champagne follows meticulous winemaking: after alcoholic fermentation in steel, part of the wine is aged in oak barriques, which add delicate toasted and vanilla nuances. Subsequently, the wine rests for over seven years on its lees, a fundamental phase for developing aromatic complexity and creaminess on the palate. The "Brut Nature" dosage, meaning without added sugar after disgorgement, enhances the authenticity of the fruit and the purity of the Chardonnay.Tasting Notes

How to best open and serve Champagne Brut Nature Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru 'M09' 2009 - M. Hostomme
1. Bottle positioning
Before opening, position the bottle of Champagne Brut Nature Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru 'M09' 2009 - M. Hostomme vertically for at least 24 hours. This allows the natural sediments to settle at the bottom, ensuring a clear and smooth service. Keep the bottle away from heat sources and intense light, in a cool and stable environment.
2. Ideal serving temperature
The optimal temperature for serving this Grand Cru Champagne is between 8°C and 10°C. Gradual chilling in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours is ideal. Avoid direct ice: it can alter the wine's structure and complex aromas.
3. Opening the bottle
To properly open the bottle:
- Remove the foil capsule without shaking the contents.
- Loosen the wire cage, always keeping your thumb over the cork.
- Tilt the bottle slightly to 45° and slowly twist the base, not the cork.
- Allow the cork to come out with a sigh and not a pop, to preserve the pressure and the elegance of the perlage.
4. Inspection and first taste
Pour a small amount of Champagne into a flute or tulip glass to assess its color and the vivacity of the bubbles. Gently smell the wine to ensure there are no oxidative notes or olfactory alterations. An initial taste will allow you to identify the aromatic opening typical of vintage Champagnes such as M09 2009 by M. Hostomme.
5. Decanting and oxygenation
Although not common for Champagnes, a vintage Blanc de Blancs like this can benefit from slight oxygenation. Slowly pour the contents into a crystal carafe or, even better, use a Champagne decanter. Let the wine breathe for 15-20 minutes: this allows the Chardonnay to fully express its notes of dried fruit, ripe citrus, and minerality.
6. Serving
Serve Champagne Brut Nature Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru 'M09' 2009 - M. Hostomme in wide glasses, ideal for appreciating its aromatic complexity. Fill them about one-third full to allow space for the perlage to develop and for the aromas to emerge. Accompany the service with refined dishes such as oysters, seafood crudos, or soft cheeses.
7. Storage after opening
If not entirely consumed, re-seal the bottle with a specific airtight Champagne stopper. Store it in the refrigerator, keeping it in an upright position. The perlage and aromatic freshness will remain intact for about 24 hours. Beyond this period, the wine will tend to lose its effervescence and complexity.
By following these steps, you will be able to fully appreciate all the nuances of Champagne Brut Nature Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru 'M09' 2009 - M. Hostomme, enhancing its elegance and unique personality.
