Champagne Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs “Les Chênes” Pierre Callot
The Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs “Les Chênes” is one of the most exclusive cuvées produced by Maison Pierre Callot, a family of récoltant-manipulants who have cultivated the prestigious vineyards of Avize for six generations. Produced in only 850 bottles, this Champagne is designed to express the remarkable purity and finesse of Chardonnay grown on the celebrated chalk soils of the Côte des Blancs.
The fruit comes from seven hectares of Grand Cru vineyards farmed according to the principles of lutte raisonnée, combining sustainable viticulture with meticulous manual vineyard work. Every harvest is carried out by hand, allowing careful selection of perfectly ripe grapes while preserving their freshness and aromatic precision.
Winemaking follows the traditional philosophy of the estate, with every decision focused on revealing the elegance of the terroir. After fermentation, the wine spends approximately four months ageing in oak barrels, gaining texture and complexity without compromising its vibrant mineral character. It then matures for around 60 months on the lees, developing remarkable depth, finesse and an exceptionally fine mousse. A restrained dosage of approximately 4 g/l preserves the wine’s balance, freshness and crystalline precision.
In the glass, it displays a brilliant golden straw colour with an exceptionally fine and persistent stream of bubbles. The bouquet reveals ripe citrus, white flowers, yellow apple and lemon zest, gradually unfolding into delicate notes of vanilla, fresh hazelnut, brioche and crushed chalk, unmistakable signatures of great Chardonnay from Avize.
The palate is precise, creamy and beautifully balanced. Bright acidity supports impressive depth without sacrificing elegance, while the chalky minerality carries through to a long, saline and remarkably refined finish. It is a Champagne of outstanding harmony that combines immediate pleasure with excellent ageing potential.
An exceptional partner for oysters, shellfish, refined seafood, sushi, baked turbot and soft-ripened cheeses, “Les Chênes” perfectly embodies the elegance and longevity of Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Champagne.
