Saint-Chamant Champagne Brut Blanc De Blancs 750 ML

Vibrant acidity and chalky minerality balance the rich body of this gorgeous Blanc de Blancs. Pronounced aromas of lemon curd and biscuit develop into quince, pear, and almond flavors on the generous palate, all of which carry through on the creamy, toasty finish.\n \n Apple blossom, ripe white cherry and melon fruit flavors form an enticing, aromatic entry to this balanced Champagne, which offers a creamy bead, lightly juicy acidity and a chalky mineral overtone that lingers on the clean-cut finish.\n \n Producer Information\n \n Champagne Saint-Chamant was established in 1930 by Pierre and Hélène Coquillette. Their son, Christian, took over the estate in 1950 and led the production for an impressive 70 years. After Christian passed away in 2020, his son Stéphane succeeded him as the third generation, committed to carrying on the long traditions that have been established here. Located in Épernay, the house’s unsigned, unassuming exterior in no way hints at its labyrinthine cellar, built in the early 19th century, which is a mile long — and lined with hundreds of thousands of carefully aging Champagne bottles. Saint-Chamant specializes primarily in Blanc de Blancs with more than 11 hectares of Chardonnay vineyards in the Chouilly Grand Cru. The house also crafts a limited amount of rosé made with a small percentage of Pinot Meunier grown on a ½-hectare plot in Épernay. All grapes are hand-harvested, and the average élevage time is nine months in stainless steel and enamel tanks. The wine ages in bottle between six to ten years for vintage wines. Stéphane is a firm believer in extended lees aging, and he disgorges only once the wines have been ordered. All Saint-Chamant Champagnes are of a distinctive style and sophisticated quality, reflecting the elegance and refinement that is the estate hallmark. They display a heady, old-time richness and vinosity with extremely fine bubbles.
