NV Champagne Coquillette Grand Cru Blanc De Blancs Cuvee Diane

The NV Champagne Coquillette Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Cuvée Diane is made by Stéphane Coquillette in the Grand Cru village of Chouilly in the Côte des Blancs, Champagne. The wine is crafted from 100 % Chardonnay grapes old vines dating back to 1964  grown on chalky, limestone-rich soils, with organic and hands-on viticulture (no herbicides, manual pruning, ploughing) to respect terroir and soil health. The vinification involves slow pressing, stainless-steel fermentation (with malolactic), and a conservative dosage (5 g/L), resulting in a precise, elegant and mineral-driven Champagne.

On the nose it offers delicate aromas of green apple, white flowers, brioche and lemon curd, with hints of wet stone or chalk; in the mouth it is bright and refined, with fine, persistent bubbles, vibrant acidity, and flavors of citrus zest, orchard fruit, subtle pastry, and a mineral-tinged, saline finish.

This Blanc de Blancs is wonderful as an aperitif and pairs beautifully with oysters, shellfish, light seafood, delicate fish, or soft cheeses   and is especially lovely when chilled and enjoyed simply on its own.
