Potences – Rochelles

Grape variety : 100% Chardonnay

Year: 2021 vintage

Dosage: 4.3 g/l natural, undosed

Origin: Cuvée produced exclusively from the Grand Cru terroir of Verzenay, expressing old vines over 40 years old on two different limestone soils.

Production: Wine made with natural yeasts, no chaptalization. Produced entirely in oak barrels, partly sourced from our family forests, on lees. No fining, filtration, or cold stabilization!

“A great white wine from a great terroir of black grapes” !

A nose full of finesse and purity, with white peach and apricot, typical of La Rochelle, always marked by white and yellow fruits.
The palate is more marked by minerality, with a present salinity, we find these citrus fruits, kumquat, and a beautiful chalky minerality on the finish!
A very nice balance between freshness, maturity, and concentration.
A champagne to enjoy as an aperitif, or to pair with white fish, seafood, oysters, or tagliatelle with scallops! Dessert: salted butter caramel, ripe mango or pineapple, and of course… caviar!
