Hymn to Purity: The Radiance of Premier Cru Chardonnay
Arnauld Beaufort’s Blanc de Blancs Brut 1er Cru is the most refined and luminous expression of our savoir-faire. Produced exclusively from Chardonnay grapes selected from Premier Cru vineyards, this Champagne is a tribute to the verticality, freshness, and timeless elegance of the region's noblest white grape variety.
The Character of Light This cuvée stands out for its extraordinary vibrancy. The choice to use only Chardonnay results in a wine with a silky texture and absolute aromatic precision. The long rest in the Maison's cellars allows the grape's natural acidity to evolve into a harmonious complexity, where the minerality of chalk becomes the protagonist.
Sensory Profile
-
Appearance: A pale gold color with crystalline and emerald reflections. The perlage is a necklace of very fine bubbles that gracefully and persistently rise in the glass.
-
Nose: An airy and delicate bouquet. Initially, notes of white flowers (jasmine and acacia) emerge, followed by hints of fresh citrus, cedar zest, and a typical chalky and saline note.
-
Palate: The attack is crisp and vibrant. Freshness dominates the sip, revealing an agile yet profound structure, with a finish that evokes the purity of the fruit and an almost sharp, extremely clean minerality.
Recommended Pairings Blanc de Blancs is the Champagne of celebration and fine dining. It excels as a refined aperitif but finds its ultimate expression alongside delicate seafood dishes: scallop carpaccio, oysters, high-quality sushi, or salt-baked sea bass.
