Signature Millésimée – Blanc de Noirs – Côte des Bar Aoc – Maison Huguenot Tassin

Vinification: Spanning six hectares in the Côte des Bar, the vineyards benefit from clay and limestone soils, with La Celle sur Ource providing an ideal setting for the delicate Pinot Blanc. The Huguenot-Tassin House masterfully blends Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc, and Chardonnay from a single harvest, with wines undergoing malolactic fermentation and ageing on lees for five to six years. Hand-picked, the grapes are gently pressed and fermented in oak barrels or stainless steel vats, allowing for rich complexity. The blend, featuring a minimum of 15 vintages, is subject to a meticulous secondary fermentation, riddling, and disgorgement, resulting in a refined Signature Brut Cuvée with a balanced dosage of 7 g/l.

Tasting Note: A pale yellow-gold wine exudes elegance, showcasing fine bubbles amidst a luminous fluidity. The creamy effervescence complements the pulpy fruit notes of lemon, green apple, and pear, while a chalky minerality enriches its complexity. Fresh acidity enhances the delicate finish, revealing subtle hints of brioche and toasted almonds, culminating in a tender, lingering resonance of citrus.
