Suenen 'C+C' Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut, Champagne, France 2022 1.5L
"C+C" Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut 2022 is a striking expression of Grand Cru Chardonnay from one of Champagne's rising stars. Crafted by winemaker Aurélien Suenen, this cuvée blends fruit from the legendary Grand Cru villages of Cramant and Chouilly, combining Cramant's laser-like minerality with Chouilly's generous texture and elegance. Fermented with native yeasts and aged on the lees before a restrained Extra Brut dosage, the 2022 vintage opens with aromas of Meyer lemon, green apple, white peach, citrus blossom, toasted brioche, and crushed chalk. The palate is vibrant and beautifully focused, balancing creamy texture with electric acidity and a long, saline, mineral-driven finish. Precise, energetic, and built for both immediate enjoyment and further aging, C+C is a benchmark grower Champagne that perfectly captures the finesse of the Côte des Blancs.
