Champagne Côte Blanche – half bottle

Le Brun de Neuville – Côte Blanche – Champagne Half Bottle

The Côte Blanche Champagne half bottle 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 a 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 in the traditional bottle fermentation method: the Méthode Champenoise. The Côte Blanche Champagne 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 entices with creamy minerality and a particularly fine perlage. It tastes fresh with notes of citrus and green apple, delicate brioche hints, the scent of white acacia blossoms and anise, and a touch of hazelnut. Le Brun de Neuville's Côte Blanche Champagne grows on the chalky slopes of the Côte de Sézanne, where Chardonnay shapes the landscape and dedicated viticulture strives to produce high quality that perfectly showcases the terroir. Here, the Chardonnay grapes come from a 45-year-old vineyard, sloping southeast with clay and chalk soils, which lend the Champagne freshness and a chalky minerality.

The Champagne half bottle is perfect for a glass for two. The Côte Blanche Champagne is the flagship, the master cuvée of Champagne Le Brun de Neuville.
