Cattier Blanc de Blancs

An iconic cuvée from Cattier, the Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru elegantly expresses all the finesse of the terroirs of the Montagne de Reims, particularly those of Chigny-les-Roses, Rilly-la-Montagne, and Ludes. Made exclusively from white grape varieties, it captivates with its balance of freshness, roundness, and aromatic intensity. Aged for over three years in the cellar, this champagne develops beautiful complexity while retaining remarkable liveliness. Its dosage of 8 g/L harmoniously complements the wine’s natural tension and highlights its richness.

The color is a luminous pale yellow with silvery highlights. In the glass, the effervescence is elegant, consistent, and particularly fine. The nose reveals a delicate and refined aromatic profile. The initial notes evoke fresh citrus, exotic fruits, and white fruits such as crisp pear and fresh apple. This fruity freshness is gradually joined by richer nuances of light strawberry, English candy, and orange blossom. Aeration then reveals more complex touches of delicate honey, fresh ginger, vanilla, and praline, adding depth and sophistication. The attack on the palate is both creamy and lively, carried by a lovely tart acidity. The enveloping texture quickly gives way to flavors of fresh pastries, light brioche, and ripe white fruits. Citrus notes bring a burst of energy, while hints of vanilla and lemon tart elegantly enrich the mid-palate. The long, precise, and refreshing finish prolongs the flavors of candied citrus and pastry lemon in a profile that is both indulgent and airy.

Particularly elegant as an aperitif, this Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru pairs perfectly with a seafood platter, sashimi, or turbot in a creamy sauce. It also pairs very well with aged cheeses such as dry goat cheese or Abondance, as well as with lemon-based desserts such as lemon meringue pie.
