A Blanc de Blancs Champagne from Jean-Paul Deville in Verzy, made entirely from Chardonnay on chalk and clay-limestone soils — the purest, most focused expression of the domaine's characteristic freshness and mineral precision.
Tasting Notes
Pale gold with fine persistent bubbles. The nose is precise and citrus-forward with white flower, chalk, and a brioche note from extended lees ageing. On the palate it is lean and mineral, with excellent acidity, a taut structure, and a long, clean, chalk-mineral finish. Blanc de Blancs done with quiet confidence.
