V. Testulat Cuvee Blanc de Blancs Brut

GW says: Hailing from Épernay and rooted in just 7 hectares of lovingly tended vines, Champagne Testulat’s Blanc de Blancs NV is a textbook lesson in elegance. Made from the first pressing in order to maintain purity, this non-vintage cuvée is crafted exclusively from Chardonnay, It has the bright, mineral-driven finesse the Côte des Blancs is famous for, but with the generosity and charm of a family-run maison. With its creamy texture and citrus lift, this is grower Champagne that overdelivers in the glass and undercharges your expectations.

Grapes: 100% Chardonnay from Testulat’s 7-hectare estate.

Appearance: Pale gold with fine bubbles.

Aroma: Lemon zest, white flowers, almond pastry, and a hint of chalk.

Palate: Zippy citrus and green apple meet creamy mousse and a mineral backbone.
