Grongnet, Blanc de Blancs, Champagne, France NV
ZESTY LIME, CHISELED YET SOFT, TOAST & CHALK
Elegantly exuding crystaline citrus, crisp tree fruit, and sumtuous whispers of croissant-like creaminess, Cécile Grongnet’s Chardonnay-solo cuvée is mouthwateringly racy and resplendantly rich yet low-key enough to serve as a sub for the mystifyingly overpriced wares of Grand Maisons. Unlike the factory wines which dominate the landscape of Champagne, this is lovingly handcrafted in minute quantities by a small, family estate. Magnifique!
Serving Suggestions: Triple cream cheese! Boudin blanc-brioche pigs in a blanket. Poached sablefish w/ buttery Swiss chard & shallots.
