Grand Blanc presents an opportunity to discover the house style through the lens of pure Chardonnay from the best chalk terroirs of Champagne and crafted from 100% first press must. The grapes are sourced from Grand and Premier crus Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, Vertus, Trépail and Verzenay. 2016 was initially marked by significant rain and frost, but finished with warm, sunny conditions, which gave wines of great freshness, delicacy and minerality.
