Champagne Blanc de Blancs Millésimé 2016 Yann Alexandre
The Yann Alexandre Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut Millésimé 2016 is a refined expression of Chardonnay from the Montagne de Reims, showcasing the estate’s precise and elegant winemaking philosophy.
The grapes come from two south-facing parcels in the village of Courmas, a crucial factor allowing optimal ripeness in a region traditionally dominated by Pinot Noir. This exposure enables Chardonnay to achieve aromatic richness and phenolic precision.
Winemaking follows a carefully crafted approach: partial malolactic fermentation, preserving tension and freshness, and a predominant use of oak during vinification, which adds complexity without overshadowing purity. The wine then undergoes a long aging on lees, developing depth and structure over time.
In the glass, it reveals a Champagne of remarkable balance, combining richness and finesse. The bouquet opens with delicate floral notes, ripe citrus, and fine pastry aromas, with subtle brioche and yeast nuances emerging with time.
On the palate, it is linear, mineral, and creamy, with an elegant mousse and perfectly integrated bubbles. The acidity provides backbone, while the structure from oak and lees aging delivers a refined sense of volume and depth.
With a low dosage of 4 g/l, the wine emphasizes gastronomic versatility and purity of expression, keeping the focus on fruit and terroir.
This is a Blanc de Blancs Champagne defined by precision, elegance, and depth, equally suited for contemplative tasting or fine dining pairings.
