The tasting
Color Brilliant gold, very bright with a fine and persistent cordon and a regular and abundant bubble.
Nose Very chalky and of a beautiful purity on flavors of chalk and cream of milk.
Palate Harmonious and well-balanced, this Champagne is very thirst-quenching supported by a nice but rather marked bubble. It will be necessary to wait a little before tasting it!

The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Another breathtaking discovery from our Selection Committee: a 100% chardonnay winemaker's champagne for less than 25€! It is the work of Benoît Cocteaux, a small family estate of 10 hectares anchored on the Côte des Blancs and the chalk of the Sézannais area.
Wine Pure Chardonnay, Or Blanc, the Extra-Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne, delivers a radiant bubble, with a fine chalky nose of beautiful purity. On the palate, the tonic and abundant effervescence offer a lot of energy and freshness around notes of flowers and citrus fruits; it is a thirst-quenching, balanced and harmonious champagne, to be served as an aperitif or at the table with marinated or baked fish. Rated 93/100 by our Selection Committee.
