2016 Champagne Claude Cazals, La Chapelle du Clos, Blanc de Blancs, Grand Cru, Oger, Brut

Description

Although Chapelle du Clos is pitched as the “second wine” of Champagne Cazals, it is an altogether different expression of its unique terroir to their “tête de cuvée”. Crafted from 50-year-old vines which were grown on raw chalk, this wine is a pure expression of Oger. The palate is rich in spring meadow flower aromas, and flavours of golden apple tartlets, pithy lemon and cool, chalky fruit. It’s truly compelling.

About this wine

Chardonnay

Chardonnay is often seen as the king of white wine grapes and one of the most widely planted in the world It is suited to a wide variety of soils, though it excels in soils with a high limestone content as found in Champagne, Chablis, and the Côte D`Or. Burgundy is Chardonnay's spiritual home and the best White Burgundies are dry, rich, honeyed wines with marvellous poise, elegance and balance. They are unquestionably the finest dry white wines in the world. Chardonnay plays a crucial role in the Champagne blend, providing structure and finesse, and is the sole grape in Blanc de Blancs.
