Grand Cru Chardonnay brings an extra level of precision, tension and quiet power — less about immediate charm, more about detail, structure and length. It’s Champagne that doesn’t rush to impress, but rewards attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"12mfks8\" data-start=\"397\" data-end=\"413\"\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"414\" data-end=\"603\"\u003ePale gold with a faint green shimmer at the rim. The mousse is exceptionally fine, forming a steady, elegant bead that signals both quality fruit and careful ageing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1cg6xo6\" data-start=\"605\" data-end=\"616\"\u003eAroma\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"617\" data-end=\"984\"\u003eRefined and layered. Citrus sits at the core — lemon zest, grapefruit peel — backed by crisp green apple and subtle white peach. There’s a pronounced chalky minerality, almost saline in nature, reflecting its Grand Cru origins. With air, the wine broadens to reveal toasted brioche, almond skin and a delicate hint of white flowers, adding depth without losing focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"l3isbv\" data-start=\"986\" data-end=\"998\"\u003ePalate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"999\" data-end=\"1498\"\u003ePrecise, linear and quietly powerful. The attack is driven by citrus and green orchard fruit, carried by a taut line of acidity that gives the wine its backbone. The mousse is ultra-fine, lending a creamy texture that softens the edges without diluting the structure. Mid-palate, a mineral intensity builds — chalk, crushed stone, a touch of salinity — before giving way to subtle pastry and nutty notes from lees ageing. The finish is long, dry and poised, with a lingering citrus and mineral echo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1el6ytq\" data-start=\"1500\" data-end=\"1518\"\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1519\" data-end=\"1602\"\u003eThis is a gastronomic Champagne that thrives with refined, flavour-driven dishes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1604\" data-end=\"1842\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"ej5h32\" data-start=\"1604\" data-end=\"1637\"\u003eOysters, caviar and shellfish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"hxchvy\" data-start=\"1638\" data-end=\"1667\"\u003eLobster with beurre blanc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1vqzamf\" data-start=\"1668\" data-end=\"1710\"\u003eTurbot or Dover sole with lemon butter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1tjion1\" data-start=\"1711\" data-end=\"1751\"\u003eRoast chicken with morels or truffle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"cvdz8\" data-start=\"1752\" data-end=\"1792\"\u003eParmesan, Comté or aged hard cheeses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"lbk90y\" data-start=\"1793\" data-end=\"1842\"\u003eLight cream-based dishes with subtle richness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1844\" data-end=\"2014\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eServe well chilled but allow it to open in the glass — this is a Blanc de Blancs that reveals its layers slowly, delivering precision, elegance and a true sense of place.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EPC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56584492384580,"sku":"GW6463","price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0774\/3058\/7716\/files\/EPCBLancDeBlancGrandCru.png?v=1774951748","url":"https:\/\/www.thegrapewizard.co.uk\/products\/epc-blanc-de-blancs-grand-cru","provider":"The Grape Wizard and The Sommelier","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
