Guy Charlemagne, Champagne, Blanc de Blancs Grande Reserve Grand Cru Extra Brut (Base 2019)

The Guy Charlemagne estate is a family-run grower producer based in the Grand Cru village of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, where they have been farming vines since 1892. This wine is made from 100% Chardonnay grown in the deep, limestone-rich soils of the Côte des Blancs, featuring an average vine age of approximately 42 years. On the palate, it delivers bright citrus and green apple notes layered with the toasted brioche character that comes from extended aging on the lees. The wine maintains a firm, mineral-driven structure with a persistent, refined finish. It is an excellent choice to enjoy tonight, offering a balanced and classic expression of its terroir.
