Tasting Notes:
Its light nose shows good freshness and reveals citrus aromas which are distinctly lemony. On the palate it expresses great finesse and intense minerality with precise citrus fruits and a touch of honey. It possesses a very silky texture with good length and reveals pleasant buttery and brioche notes on the finish.
The Blanc de Chardonnay pairs well with fish or a shellfish platter.
The Producer
Tribaut-Schloesser
Tribaut-Schloesser was founded in 1929 in the heart of the Champagne region in Romery, near Epernay. Four generations of the family have now built upon their passion and expertise to produce a range of impressively delicate and refined Champagnes.
Tribaut’s 25ha of vineyards are situated on sunny south west facing slopes in the very best locations between the Montagne de Reims and the Marne Valley. They are planted with the three principal varietals allowing all of their Champagnes to be produced solely with their own grapes.
