All-Chardonnay elegance from a top small grower. Lemon zest, white peach, and white flowers lead into a taut, chalk-driven palate with a creamy mid-palate for balance. Fine bubbles and crisp acidity carry a long, mineral finish. Precise, refreshing, and deeply satisfying—a delicious Blanc de Blancs that keeps you coming back.

This Champagne is lively, bright and fresh. It is dry but also a little juicy and has a nice balance of flavors. One glass is not enough.

Delicious and elegant, this paper-wrapped Champagne is a departure from the searing acid of Blanc de blancs and instead shows golden apple fruit up front, followed by toastiness and a luxurious mouthfeel. Though there is a crisp backbone of minerality from the fossil-rich soil, this is a slightly unusual offering in that it’s 100% Chardonnay with a creamier spin. The current release is from a single vineyard and spends over five years on the lees. Paul-Vincent Ariston is committed to making exceptional value Champagne, and there’s no doubt he’s accomplished that here. Aspasie Blanc de blancs is textured and age worthy, and I love turning savvy drinkers on to this family-owned favorite.
