This wine originates from \u003cstrong\u003eCramant\u003c\/strong\u003e, one of the most renowned Grand Cru villages of the Côte des Blancs, famous for its extraordinarily fine Chardonnays.\n\nThis is a \u003cstrong\u003eBlanc de Blancs\u003c\/strong\u003e, meaning a Champagne produced exclusively from Chardonnay grapes, which here express all the mineral and citrus character of the territory. The winemaking follows the \u003cstrong\u003eChampenoise method\u003c\/strong\u003e (or traditional method), which involves a second fermentation in the bottle: an artisanal process that gives the typical fine, persistent, and creamy perlage, a symbol of true Champagne tradition.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage details\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe \u003cstrong\u003e2017 vintage\u003c\/strong\u003e is considered a year of contrast and great personality in Champagne. After an early spring and a sunny summer, the grapes from Cramant reached perfect ripeness, while maintaining the acidity necessary for an impeccable taste balance. The harvest, carried out manually, allowed for the selection of the best bunches to produce a Blanc de Blancs with lively freshness and an elegant aromatic profile.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking and aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\nAlcoholic fermentation takes place in \u003cstrong\u003eoak tonneaux\u003c\/strong\u003e, small barrels that allow the wine to breathe slowly, enriching it with complexity and softness. This is followed by a second fermentation in the bottle, where the wine remains \u003cstrong\u003eat least 54 months on its lees\u003c\/strong\u003e before disgorgement: a long aging process that enhances its elegance and persistence on the palate. The Extra Brut dosage, with minimal residual sugar, highlights the purity of the Chardonnay and the minerality of the Cramant terroir.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\nIn the glass, it presents with a \u003cstrong\u003eluminous straw yellow\u003c\/strong\u003e with golden reflections and a very fine, continuous, and rigorous perlage, a sign of long maturation on the lees.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNose\u003c\/h3\u003e\nOn the nose, it reveals an elegant and complex bouquet: ripe citrus, green apple, white flowers, and a hint of fine pastry. Pleasant mineral and chalk notes also emerge, typical of the Grand Crus of the Côte des Blancs.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTaste\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe sip is taut, vibrant, perfectly balanced between freshness and structure. The Extra Brut dosage enhances the purity and verticality of the Chardonnay, while the long aging provides a \u003cstrong\u003esavory and creamy persistence\u003c\/strong\u003e that finishes with elegance and great balance.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat dishes to pair with Champagne Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut Cramant Grand Cru Millésimé 2017 - Bérêche et Fils\u003c\/h2\u003e\nThis Blanc de Blancs Champagne is perfect for accompanying special moments or enhancing dishes with delicate flavors.
