Wine information
The Grisblanc is a Coteaux Champenois, a still wine from Champagne made from the seven grape varieties of Champagne, i.e. Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Petit Meslier and Arbane. The fruit comes from Vrigny, Chamery and Coulomnes. It was pressed directly and fermented spontaneously in the same wood, where the wine was also aged on its lees for the following ten months before being bottled unfiltered and unsulphured.
Color
Intense straw yellow with a very light hue like a Blanc de Noirs.
Nose
The Griblanc is certainly one of the most unusual Coteaux Champenois. Both the use of all seven approved varieties and the vinification without sulphur are unusual. The wine smells correspondingly unique. With its slight oxidation, its clear light tobacco spiciness, the notes of stone, dry herbs, nuts and apple peel, it is reminiscent to a certain extent of wines from the Jura.
Palate
On the palate, the tobacco spice continues and is supported by a lively acidity and a citric note. This comes across as very independent, bright and fresh, punchy and pithy. Here, too, the slight nuttiness and stoniness are evident, but at the same time a sensual creaminess that allows the wine to glide over the palate.
