Blanc de Blancs Chouilly Grand Cru Chardonnay
Chouilly, Côte des Blancs, Champagne, France
Wow. En Magnum. This was fantastic. Almost Dom or Bollinger style. Oxidative and rich with some high toast. Fantastic mousse and acidity.

Jan 15th, 2023A pretty golden straw color with tiny, fine bubbles and an energetic mousse. The aromas are fresh and so delightful. A slight bit of peaches and pears up top with chalk saying a quick hello. Soft vanilla with a light dusting of cinnamon. Lemon zest with a touch of melon.
This is a really nice, elegant Blanc de Blancs. Truly speaks to the terroir of Chouilly. There’s a bite here typical of the low dosage. Grand Cru fruit and it definitely shows. Minerality and freshness for days.
Keeps developing and growing in the glass over time. More and more refinement and character as time passes. Baked bread and outstanding citrus flavors in the mouth. There’s a nice bit of earth here as well. A fine champagne that over delivers.

Another great QPR champagne from 2008. Lemons, tart apples, a bunch of acidity, as it warms some great cream that almost is like key lime pie. Definitely some depth but not as awesome as the blin from a week ago.
