Champagne Côte Blanche

Champagne Côte Blanche – a Blanc de Blanc from Le Brun de Neuville

The Champagne Côte Blanche from Champagne Le Brun de Neuville is a Blanc de Blanc champagne, meaning a sparkling wine made from 100% Chardonnay grapes. The majority of the base wine is aged in stainless steel tanks, but 5% ferments in oak barrels. To make the champagne more complex, 52% of this cuvée comes from reserve wines of older vintages. This is a special technique with significant tradition in Champagne. A portion of the cuvée has undergone malolactic fermentation, which provides a special mouthfeel and additional complexity. Naturally, this high-quality champagne undergoes its second fermentation using the traditional bottle fermentation method: Méthode champenoise. The Champagne Côte Blanche matures in the bottle for a full 5 years.

Thanks to the high-quality base wines and the long bottle aging on the lees, this champagne seduces with creamy minerality and a particularly fine perlage. It tastes fresh of citrus fruits and green apple with delicate brioche notes, the scent of white acacia blossoms and anise, and a hint of hazelnut. The Champagne Côte Blanche from Le Brun de Neuville grows on the limestone slopes of the Côte de Sézanne, where Chardonnay characterizes the landscape and dedicated viticulture strives to produce high quality that perfectly highlights the terroir. Here, the Chardonnay grapes come from a 45-year-old vineyard, sloped southeast with clay and chalk soils that give the champagne freshness and a chalky minerality.

The Champagne Côte Blanche is the flagship, the master cuvée of Champagne Le Brun de Neuville.
