🏰 Hélène Beaugrand is a distinguished grower Champagne producer from Montgueux, a village often referred to as the "Montrachet of Champagne" due to its unique chalk and clay terroir and predominant Chardonnay plantings. The estate boasts old vines, at least 45 years of age, contributing to the wine's complexity. Hélène, a descendant of Léon Beaugrand who was instrumental in Montgueux's AOC Champagne status in 1927, launched her eponymous house in 2018. She is committed to terroir-driven wines with minimal intervention and little to no dosage, with bottles aged on lees for over 36 months to develop complexity and fine bubbles. 【 "Montrachet of Champagne" terroir expression from old vines 】 🍴 The Montgueux Chardonnay style is often described as a hybrid of Vertus and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, offering hints of quince and minerals, with a tight and unctuous character rather than being overtly fruity or fat. Expect expansive aromas with exotic and floral hints enveloped in chalk and minerals, a dusting of toffee, and notes of green apple. It's an expressive, aromatic wine with generous flavors of exotic and citrus fruit, hints of butter and brioche, and a rich, salty profile. This Extra Brut Champagne is an excellent aperitif, pairing beautifully with oysters, delicate seafood, and light appetizers. It also complements sushi or even fried chicken. 🥂 Perfect for celebrations, aperitifs, or as a sophisticated accompaniment to fine dining, this Champagne embodies elegance and purity. Its low dosage makes it a crisp and refreshing choice for any festive occasion.
