Champagne Cattier – Brut Blanc de Blancs – Premier Cru – Luxury Limited Edition – 750 ml – Avvenice

Champagne Cattier – Independent Family and Maison de Champagne d’Exception since 1625

The story goes back all the way to 1625, and probably even further, when the Cattier family first started planting vines in Chigny-les-Roses, in the hear t of the Montagne de Reims.

Fast-forward to 1916, when Jean Cattier returned to Chigny-les-Roses as a wounded veteran of the Great War. The city of Reims was under siege by the German Army, shaken by an onslaught of artillery shells which would destroy 60% of the city. Champagne traders tried to keep their businesses running under these harsh conditions, but it was an uphill struggle. Unable to sell his poor harvest in 1916, Jean Cattier decided to turn his grapes into wine and produce his own champagne, released at the end of the war in 1918. This signalled the birth of Cattier champagne.

Description

Eyes

This champagne offers a pale gold colour, broken only by a ribbon of fi ne bubbles.

Nose

Elegance is the word, with aromas of vanilla and acacia flowers and notes of fig.

Palate

It opens brightly on the palate, an explosion of fruit with flavours of peach, apricot and pear. These gracefully give way to notes of lemon and rich pastry, a fitting accompaniment to the smooth velvety texture.

Food Pairings

Accompanied by a dish of shrimp or a seafood platter, the Cuvée Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru would be the ideal aperitif, while it also has enough body and personality to pair with richer dishes. Serve it alongside a classic sole meunière or turbot à la crème, or even a cheese board – it works beautifully with aged goat’s cheeses and brie.

Enjoy preferably within 2 years.
