Chateau de Bligny Grande Reserve Brut Champagne Non-vintage 750ml

From the unique Château de Bligny, one of Champagne's few genuine château properties, comes this distinctive Grande Réserve that showcases estate-grown fruit from their six-hectare monopole. This rare single-estate champagne offers a fascinating glimpse into true terroir expression, with every grape coming from their meticulously maintained vineyards. The blend typically emphasizes Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, creating a champagne of unusual character and authenticity. Extended aging in their historic cellars adds complexity while maintaining the fresh expression of their unique terroir.

Grande Réserve immediately sets itself apart from multi-source champagnes. The nose offers a distinctive profile - ripe orchard fruits and floral notes are complemented by an almost Burgundian earthiness that speaks to the estate's unique position. There's a cohesiveness here that only comes from single-estate production. On the palate, this champagne reveals the benefits of château bottling. The texture is rich and creamy, with a gentle mousse that enhances the wine's natural roundness. Flavors are generous and well-defined - red apple, pear, and citrus are balanced by notes of honey, brioche, and a subtle nuttiness. The terroir expression is remarkable, with a mineral signature that runs through every sip. This is champagne that tells a story of place, offering something genuinely different in a region often focused on blending. For those seeking authenticity and terroir expression, Château de Bligny provides a unique perspective.
