Style
Blanc de Blancs
Champagne made only from white grapes — in practice almost always Chardonnay. Precise, linear and often the longest‑lived style.
Blanc de Blancs means "white from whites" and refers to champagne made only from white grapes — in practice, almost always Chardonnay. Many of the most celebrated examples come from the Côte des Blancs, a chalky sub‑region south of Épernay.
How it tastes
Cool, chalky and citrus‑driven when young. With age it develops honey, hazelnut and a texture closer to fine white Burgundy.
When to serve
Excellent as an aperitif or with delicate first courses — oysters, sashimi, a plate of langoustines.
