C C Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Suenen
The wine
This cuvée, produced from the communes of Cramant and Chouilly (loam-clay soil and Campanian chalk sub-soil), is a 100% Chardonnay Champagne with chalky, subtly iodine aromas. The bubbles are superbly refined on the palate, retaining a dense substance which conveys a precise message.
About the Producer Suenen
At 30 years old, Aurélien Suenen is from the fifth generation of winemakers in his family. His champagnes are a true reflection of their terroir which encompasses the typical chalk-rich soil of the Côte des Blancs, iconic varieties such as Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, and a unique know-how that respects the "traditional method". Straddling the grand cru vineyards of Cramant and Oiry in the Côte des Blancs, Maison Suenen's wines are distinguished, with a distinctive bubble and fresh fruit, citrus, and white flower aromas. Systematic malolactic fermentation and ageing in oak barrels add buttery and vanilla notes that evoke freshly baked brioche!
