Champagne Le Mesnil Brut Nv Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru NV

Le Mesnil is a major supplier of base wines (vin clair) to other prestigious Champagne houses, including Krug, Salong, Moët & Chandon, Veuve Clicquot, and Taittinger, while also producing its own cuvées.

Founded in 1937, the vineyards of Le Mesnil sur Oger have a truly excellent terroir, the quality of their vineyards comes from the fact that they are east-facing. With vineyard topsoil over a base layer of chalk the vineyards have excellent hydric qualities thus allowing the chardonnay grape to reach their full potential. 

Grape Varietals & Region: The vines are planted by over 500 growers on the prestigious chal slops of Le Mesnil sur Oger, one of 17 Grand Crus in Champagne

Taste Profile: Le Mesnil's Non Vintage Blanc de Blanc pours beautifully boasting an excellent white frothy mousse, showing good hold, followed by a straw, pale gold base wine. The very fine bead has excellent persistence. Aromatically, this wine delivers a classic Champagne sniff. Yeasty, baked bread notes are followed by some brioche and a hint of citrus. The palate is surprisingly full and rich for a Blanc de Blancs with mouthfilling flavours of yeast lees, baked bread, cashew and biscuit. Clean finish. Creamy texture and excellent length. Long aftertaste of yeast lees, baked bread and brioche.

This seductive Champagne is a reflection of the house style of Le Mesnil and is perfect throughout a meal, from aperitif to dessert and indeed at any any time of the day or night
