Delicate and fragrant, this Champagne from the famed Chassenay d’Arce cooperative is a local prize. A cooperative of nearly 130 family-owned growers gathers annually to combine the fruits of their labors—a method nearly as old as the Champagne appellation itself. The result is a seductive vintage Champagne, with a bouquet of petals and white peaches. In the mouth, it’s more forward, adding layers of buttered brioche, minerals and pear. The mousse—the French word for the froth at the top of a glass of Champagne—is creamy, and is followed by a lingering, lip-smacking finish.
Varietals:100% Chardonnay
Nose:Flower petals, Acacia wood, white peaches
Palate:Delicate bubbles, round texture, brioche
Alcohol:12%
Appellation:Champagne A.O.C.
Since 1956, nearly 130 family-owned growers have gathered at Chassenay d’Arce to make the house cuvées and single-varietal Champagnes. At the heart of this cooperative—310 hectares of vineyards located near the border of Champagne and Burgundy—is a grand old mansion built from local stones.

We Love This With
Its discreet minerality combined with notes of acacia wood, butter and pear make this Blanc de Blancs a lively companion for all manner of seafood, from a fold of smoked salmon topped with crème fraîche to pan-seared octopus tendrils drizzled with lemon. As for us, we’ll take our bottle of Blanc de Blancs with an icy platter of briny Hama Hama Blue Pool Oysters, whose velvety flesh has a slightly sweet finish.
